work  as  any  steel  windmill  made,  of  corresponding  size,  and 
that  said  windmills  and  towers,  when  erected  according  to 
directions,  will  stand  without  damage  all  winds  which  do  not

buildings  or  live  trees  in  the  immediate  neighborhood  of  said 
windmills  and  towers,  and  that  the  tower  will  not  buckle,  break 
or  blow  down  unless  the  anchorage  gives  way.  Any  defects  in

D  CALLING  YOUR  ATTENTION  to  our  line  of  Improved 
Kenwood  Galvanized  Steel  Windmills  and  Towers,  we  feel 

_  confident  we  are  presenting  a  line  of  goods,  which,  in  every 

way,  are  superior  to  most  and  equal  to  any  made.  In  select¬ 
ing  our  line  of  windmills  and  towers,  we  have  carefully  canvassed 
the  market  to  find  out  the  good  and  bad  points  of  every  windmill 
and  tower  made.  We  have  fully  investigated  and  carefully  considered 
the  advantages  and  disadvantages  of  the  different  windmill  makers, 
with  a  view  of  having  manufactured  exclusively  for  us  a  windmill 
thoroughly  up  to  date,  embodying  all  the  latest  improvements,  all  the 
good  features  of  all  high  grade  windmills  made,  with  the  defects  of 
none  ;  in  fact,  we  have  avoided  all  weak  points,  and  have  strengthened 
our  windmills  with  the  strong  points  of  the  very  best  windmills  made 

{ 

OUR  WINDMILLS  ARE  BUILT  OF  STEEL, 

-W  Practically  non- destructible ;  built  to  require  little  care,  and  with 
little  care  last  forever ;  built  with  a  view  of  giving  the  greatest 
^  amount  of  power  for  equal  velocity  of  wind,  and  we  can  honestly 
state  that  the  Improved  Kenwood  Windmill  will  pump  more  water 
in  a  lighter  wind  than  any  othei  windmill  made.

THE  IMPROVED  KENWOOD 

Galvanized  Steel  Pumping  and  Power  Windmills  and  Towers  are 
made  expressly  for  us  under  contract  by  one  of  the  best  windmill 
makers  in  this  country.  They  are  built  from  the  very  best  mate¬ 
rials  throughout,  as  fully  explained  in  this  booklet.  The  windmills 
are  built  on  the  very  latest  lines,  embodying  every  good  feature  in 
windmill  building,  as  adopted  by  the  very  best  makers.  Nothing 
but  the  very  best  of  material  enters  into  their  construction.  There 
is  nothing  in  an  Improved  Kenwood  to  get  out  of  order,  simple  to 
care  for,  needs  less  care  than  almost  any  other  windmill.  Heavy 
enough  in  every  part  to  be  very  strong  and  durable  and  not  so 
heavy  as  to  be  hard  to  manage  and  hard  to  run;  strengthened  in 
many  points  where  other  windmills  are  weak,  lightened  in  several 
points  where  other  mills  are  heavy  and  hard  to  manage;  in  other 
words,  a  perfect  windmill,  containing  all  the  good  points  of  all 
windmills,  with  the  defects  of  none. 

ABOUT  THE  PRICE 

'J'HE  EXTREMELY  LOW  PRICES  at  which  we  quote  wind¬ 
mills  and  towers,  often  gives  rise  to  the  question,  are  they  good 
windmills  and  good  towers?  Are  they  as  good  as  I  can  buy  from 
my  dealer  at  home  at  double  the  money?  Is  it  possible  to  build  such 
a  windmill  and  such  a  tower  for  so  little  money?  We  know  your 
dealer  at  home  will  say  it  is  impossible,  we  know  he  will  say  the  wind¬ 
mill  is  not  good  and  the  tower  is  not  strong  and  well  built.  He  will 
tell  you  a  first  class  windmill  and  tower  cannot  be  built  for  the  money 
we  offer  ours,  and  really  he  cannot  be  blamed  for  offering  this 
argument.  Some  dealers  really  believe  when  they  make  this  state¬ 
ment  that  they  are  telling  the  truth,  especially  when  they  themselves 
are  compelled  to  pay  at  wholesale  at  least  50  per  cent  more  for  the 
windmill  they  buy  than  the  price  at  which  we  sell  direct  to  the  user. 
If  the  dealer  has  seen  one  of  our  windmills  he  knows  it  is  the  equal 
of  any  windmill  made,  regardless  of  price.  If  the  prospective  buyer 
has  seen  one  of  our  windmills  in  his  neighborhood,  he  doesn’t  ask 
the  dealer  any  questions  and  it  doesn’t  matter  what  the  dealer  says. 
He,  too,  knows  that  our  windmill  is  the  equal  of  any  windmill  made; 
but  as  this  booklet  will  fall  into  the  hands  of  thousands  of  prospective 
buyers  who  have  not  as  yet  seen  an  Improved  Kenwood  Windmill, 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL.

and  as  such  buyers  consulting  their  dealers  at  home  will  hear  every 
kind  of  an  argument  advanced  to  discourage  them  from  sending  to  us, 
and  as  we  ourselves  or  our  representative  cannot  be  on  the  ground 
to  explain  or  refute  any  argument  that  may  be  introduced  against 
our  windmill,  we  give  a  guarantee,  a  free  trial  offer  and  a  free  sub¬ 
ject  to  examination  purchase  proposition,  intended  to  refute  any  kind 
of  argument  against  our  windmill,  intended  to  put  our  windmill,  with¬ 
out  expense  or  risk  to  the  buyer,  in  competition  with  any  windmill 
made,  and  to  let  the  buyer  take  his  own  time  in  comparing,  testing, 
consulting  and  fully  deciding,  if,  indeed,  the  Improved  Kenwood 
Windmill,  at  about  one-half  the  price  charged  by  others,  is  su¬ 
perior  to  most  and  equal  to  any  of  the  highest  grade  steel  windmills 
made.  Our  prices  are  based  on  the  actual  cost  of  material  and 
labor,  the  cost  of  the  steel  and  other  material,  the  cost  of  labor  with 
but  our  one  small  percentage  of  profit  added.  From  our  prices  are 
eliminated  all  the  selling  expenses  of  traveling  salesmen,  wholesale 
houses,  retail  dealers,  solicitors,  collectors,  bad  debts,  long  time,  in¬ 
terest,  handling,  double  storage,  etc.  Our  price  is  a  simple  propo¬ 
sition.  It  is  a  spot  cost,  a  factory  cost,  a  material  and  labor  cost, 
with  our  profit  added  to  it,  and  our  profit  is  small. 

OUR  BINDING  GUARANTEE 

Every  Improved  Kenwood  Windmill  and  Tower  is  sold  under  the 
binding,  one  year’s  guarantee,  shown  on  the  inside  front  cover  of  this 
catalogue,  by  the  terms  and  conditions  of  which,  if  any  piece  or 
part  gives  out  within  one  year,  by  reason  of  defect  in  material  or 
workmanship,  we  will  replace  or  repair  it  free  of  charge.  With  only 
ordinary  care  one  of  our  steel  windmills  or  steel  towers  will  last  a 
natural  lifetime. 

OUR  THIRTY  DAYS’  FREE  TRIAL  OFFER 

To  give  every  buyer  an  opportunity  to  see,  examine,  test  and 
compare  our  windmills  with  other  windmills,  we  ship  every  windmill 
outfit  with  the  understanding  and  agreement  that  after  it  is  set  up 
on  your  own  ground  you  are  at  liberty  to  give  it  thirty  days’  trial  during 
which  time  you  can  put  it  to  every  test,  and  if  for  any  reason  you 
become  dissatisfied  with  your  purchase  within  thirty  days,  you  are  at 
liberty  to  return  the  windmill  to  us  at  our  expense  of  freight  charges 
both  ways  and  we  will  immediately  return  your  money.

OUR  LIBERAL  TERMS 

while  nearly  all  our  customers  send  cash  in  full,  thus  saving 
the  inconvenience  of  going  to  the  bank  or  express  office  to 
pay  the  collection  fee  and  also  saving  the  charge  for  collection,  which 
is  usually  from  25  to  50  cents,  if  you  do  not  wish  to  send  cash 
in  full  with  your  order,  then  send  with  your  order  one-fifth  of  the 
price  of  the  goods.  We  will  then  send  the  windmill  to  you  by 
freight,  C.  0.  D.,  subject  to  examination.  You  can  examine  it  at 
your  freight  depot,  and  if  found  perfectly  satisfactory  and  exactly  as 
represented,  then  pay  the  railroad  agent  the  balance  of  our  price  and 
freight  charges,  with  the  understanding  that  you  are  to  have  the  privi¬ 
lege  of  returning  the  windmill  to  us  at  any  time  within  thirty  days 
if  it  does  not  prove  satisfactory,  and  your  money  is  to  be  immedi¬ 
ately  refunded  to  you. 


ADVANTAGES  OF  SENDING  CASH 

WE  ADVISE  EVERYONE  when  ordering  windmills  to  send 
cash  in  full  with  their  order,  and  thus  save  all  the  incon¬ 
venience  and  expense  of  the  draft  which  accompanies  C.  0.  D. 
shipments,  either  to  the  express  company  or  to  the  bank.  You  take 
no  risk  in  sending  cash  in  full  with  your  order,  for  if  the  goods  are 
not  found  perfectly  satisfactory  we  will  immediately  refund  your 
money  and  the  goods  will  be  returned  to  us  at  our  expense. 

ABOUT  OUR  RELIABILITY 

JT  WOULD  HARDLY  SEEM  NECESSARY  for  us  to  make 
mention  of  our  reliability,  or  give  any  special  reference,  for  there 
are  certainly  very  few  people  who  will  receive  this  book  who  are  not 
acquainted  with  the  reputation  of  Sears,  Roebuck  &  Company  for  fair 
and  honorable  dealing;  comparatively  few  who  receive  this  book  who 
have  not  at  some  time  purchased  goods  from  us,  and  even  if  not 
acquainted  with  our  reputation  it  isn’t  necessary  to  go  out  of  any  neigh¬ 
borhood  to  find  out  all  about  us.  Your  neighbor  knows  us.  There  isn’t 
a  town,  a  hamlet  or  community  in  any  state  in  the  United  States  where 
we  haven’t  customers.  We  are  shipping  goods  almost  every  day  into 
your  immediate  neighborhood,  into  every  town  in  every  state.  We 
refer  you  to  the  people  in  your  own  neighborhood  who  have  dealt  with

us.  If  we  have  satisfied  them,  we  can  satisfy  you.  If  we  haven’t 
satisfied  them,  we  won’t  expect  you  to  order  from  us.

First  National  Bank  and  Corn  Exchange  National  Bank  of  Chicago; 
also  to  any  railroad  company,  express  company,  business  house  or 
resident  of  Chicago. 

HAVE  YOU  A  FRIEND  IN  CHICAGO? 

If  you  are  thinking  of  buying  a  windmill  outfit,  and  if  you  have 
not  fully  decided  what  or  where  to  buy,  and  if  you  have  a  friend  in 
Chicago,  we  would  especially  urge  that  you  write  your  friend  to  come 
to  our  store  and  let  him  look  carefully  into  the  merits  of  our  windmills 
and  other  windmills,  and  if  he  then  advises  you  that  you  can  buy  a 
better  windmill  from  us  for  less  money  than  you  can  buy  elsewhere, 
give  us  your  order;  otherwise,  we  will  not  expect  it. 

XINDLY  READ  THIS  BOOKLET  THROUGH  CAREFULLY 

Note  the  construction  of  our  windmill  work  throughout,  as  fully 
described  by  illustration  and  description,  consider  our  guarantee,  our 
free  trial  offer,  our  free  to  examine  terms  of  shipment,  and  then

Improvement  in  the  design,  construction,  efficiency  and  wearing 
qualities  of  all  the  various  machines  which  we  sell  is  one  of  the 
very  important  features  which  is  never  lost  sight  of  by  us,  no 
matter  what  it  may  cost  to  obtain  the  desired  results  and  no 
matter  how  much  time  or  labor  we  may  be  compelled  to  de¬ 

vote  to  this  one  particular  object. 

OUR  IMPROVED  KENWOOD  WINDMILLS  AND 
TOWERS  are  the  result  of  our  several  years’  experience  in 
the  sale  of  this  class  of  goods,  and  are  vastly  superior  to  the 

windmills  and  towers  previously  sold  by  us  and  to  all  other  makes 
of  windmills  and  towers.  The  design  of  the  entire7  line  is  in 

strict  conformity  with  modern  steel  windmill  and  tower  construc¬ 
tion,  every  feature,  even  to  the  smallest  detail  having  received 

careful  attention  in  all  particulars  relating  to  strength,  efficiency, 
wearing  qualities  and  general  durability. 

OUR  CONSTANT  AIM  is  to  reduce  our  prices  and  in¬ 
crease  the  quality  of  our  goods,  our  object  being  to  furnish  the 
best  goods  which  skilled  labor  can  produce  at  the  very  lowest 
prices  which  can  possibly  be  made  and  by  so  doing  give  per¬ 
fect  satisfaction  to  our  customers,  placing  in  their  hands  abso¬ 
lutely  first  class  goods  at  a  minimum  price  and  therefore  mak¬ 
ing  a  constantly  increasing  number  of  satisfied  customers,  which 
increases  our  sales  to  such  an  extent  that  we  can  afford  to  make 
very  close  prices.

We  sell  more  windmills  and  towers  direct  to  the  con¬ 
sumer  than  any  other  three  houses  in  the  United  States;  con¬ 
sequently  we  can  make  the  low  prices  which  we  do,  first,  because 
of  the  large  volume  of  goods  which  we  sell,  and  second,  be¬ 
cause  the  prices  are  spot  cash  prices,  based  on  the  actual  cost 
of  material  and  labor,  with  but  a  very  small  percentage  of  profit 
added.  They  are  prices  which  cannot  be  duplicated  by  anyone  on 
windmills  of  any  character. 


CONSTRUCTION  OF  THE  IMPROVED  KEN¬ 
WOOD  GALVANIZED  STEEL  WINDMILLS 

THE  WIND  WHEELS  AND  VANES  of  all  sizes  of 
Improved  Kenwood  Pumping  Windmills  are  similarly  constructed 
and  the  wheel  and  vane  of  the  12-foot  pumping  and  12-foot 
power  windmills  are  identical.  The  construction  of  the  wind 
wheels  and  the  vanes  differing  only  in  the  sizes,  the  general 
measurements,  the  weight  and  strength  of  the  materials  used  and 
the  number  and  size  of  the  sails  and  arms  in  the  different  sizes 
of  windmills. 

ONE  OF  THE  MOST  IMPORTANT  PARTS  of  a  wind¬ 
mill  is  the  wind  wheel  and  the  arms  which  support  it.  The  arms 
of  the  improved  Kenwood  Windmills  are  made  of  heavy  flat  steel 
bars,  set  tangent  and  braced  in  such  a  manner  that  it  makes 
the  wind  wheel  absolutely  rigid  and  strong.  These  arms  being 
set  tangent  not  only  add  to  the  strength  of  the  wind  wheel,  but 
they  add  to  the  efficiency  of  the  windmill.  Take  any  size  of 
the  Improved  Kenwood  Windmills,  not  connected  to  a  pump  and 
the  arms  alone  present  sufficient  surface  to  the  wind  to  run  the 
assembled  motor  with  a  wind  of  fair  velocity.  There  are  four 
arms  on  the  6-foot  wheel,  five  arms  on  the  8-foot  wheel,  six 
arms  on  the  10-foot  wheel  and  seven  arms  on  the  12-foot  wheel 
and  there  is  provision  made  so  that  when  attaching  these  arms 
they  can  be  adjusted  to  make  the  wheel  run  absolutely  true,  a  fea¬ 
ture  which  we  believe  is  not  to  be  found  in  any  other  windmill. 
The  inner  and  outer  wind  wheel  rims  are  made  of  heavy  flat  steel, 
turned  edgewise,  so  as  to  give  ample  strength,  and  these  rims  are 
bolted  solidly  to  the  outer  end  of  the  arms  and  to  the  arm  braces.

SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


THE  SAIL  SECTIONS  OF  THE  WINDMILLS  are  gal¬ 
vanized  after  completion,  as  are  all  steel  parts  of  our  windmills  and 
towers.  This*  work  is  all  done  at  our  factory  and  by  workmen  who 
are  skilled  in  the  operation  of  galvanizing,  consequently  as  all  parts 
are  thoroughly  protected  by  galvanizing,  they  are  practically  indestruct¬ 
ible,  will  not  rust  and  will  last  an  indefinite  length  of  time.  Special 
care  is  exercised  in  our  galvanizing  plant  to  produce  goods  which 
present  a  clean,  handsome  appearance  and  to  avoid  the  ragged 
edges  which  are  caused  by  the  drippings,  and  while  these  rough 
edges  cannot  be  entirely  avoided,  we  turn  out  the  very  best  work 
which  can  be  produced. 

THE  6-FOOT  WIND  WHEELS  have  16  sails,  which 
are  28  inches  long,  12  inches  wide  at  the  outer  end,  and  4^ 
inches  wide  at  the  inner  end.  The  8-foot  wind  wheels  have  20 
sails  which  are  30  inches  long,  12  inches  wide  at  the  outer 
end,  and  4\  inches  wide  at  the  inner  end.  The  10-foot  wind 
wheels  have  24  sails,  which  are  30  inches  long,  12  inches  wide 
at  the  outer  end  and  4^-  inches  wide  at  the  inner  end.  The 

12-foot  wind  wheels  have  28  sails,  which  are  36  inches  long,  15 
inches  wide  at  the  outer  end  and  8  inches  wide  at  the  inner  end. 

THE  AMOUNT  OF  WIND  SURFACE  and  openings 
through  which  the  wind  escapes  from  the  wheel,  is  carefully  cal¬ 
culated  so  as  to  obtain  the  best  results.  The  angle  and  curva¬ 
ture  of  the  sails  is  made  to  run  the  wind  wheel  so  as  to  give 

8-foot  and  10-foot  windmills  an  average  of  forty  strokes  of  the 
pump  rod  per  minute  with  a  wind  blowing  at  a  good  velocity, 
the  windmills  being  geared  back  three  to  one,  that  is,  the  wind 
wheels  making  three  revolutions  to  each  up  and  down  stroke  of 
the  pump  rod.  The  6-foot  windmill  is  geared  four  to  one  and 
the  12-foot  pumping  windmill  is  geared  two  and  two-thirds  to  one. 
The  6-foot  wind  wheels  run  faster  and  the  12-foot  wind  wheels  run 
slower  than  do  the  wheels  of  the  8-foot  and  10-foot  windmills. 

THE  VANES  of  the  Improved  Kenwood  Windmills  are 
properly  proportioned  to  govern  the  windmill,  the  arms  being  of 
proper  length  and  the  steel  vane  sheets  being  of  proper  length 
and  width  to  best  accomplish  this  object.  The  lower  arm  of  the 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


11 


vane  is  made  of  a  very  heavy  steel  angle  bar  and  the  upper 
arm  of  a  lighter  steel  angle  bar.  The  reason  the  lower  arm  is 
heavier  than  the  upper  and  the  upper  lighter  than  the  lower  is  to 
give  strength  where  it  is  required  and  lightness  where  the  greater 
strength  is  not  required.  As  will  be  seen  from  the  various  illustra¬ 
tions  the  spread  of  the  vane  where  it  is  hinged  to  the  motor  is 
very  wide,  the  vane  being  made  in  this  way  to  keep  it  from 
twisting,  and  to  obviate  a  fault  which  is  to  be  found  in  a  great 
many  windmills. 


AS  GOOD  AS  CAN  BE  BOUGHT. 

Maitland,  So.  Dak. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— The  windmill  received  from  you  last  June  is  up  and  running  fine.  Is 
from  $5.00  to  $7.50  cheaper  than  others,  and  is  just  as  good  as  any  on  the  range  here. 
If  we  buy  any  more  they  will  be  from  Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co. 

Respects,  J.  A.  BALL. 


RUNS  TWO  YEARS  WITHOUT  REPAIRS. 

Parnell,  Kent  County,  Mich. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:  In  regard  to  the  windmill  I  bought  of  you  will  say  it  gives  perfect 
satisfaction.  I  have  run  it  nearly  two  years  without  one  single  hitch  or  one  cent 
paid  out  on  it  for  repairs.  I  feel  I  saved  money  by  buying  of  you.  I  had  an  expert 
put  up  my  windmill.  It  pays  every  time.  Lots  of  the  trouble  in  windmills  is  caused 
by  not  being  properly  set.  Yours  respectfully,  S.  D.  NORMAN. 


BETTER  THAN  THEY  EXPECTED. 

DeCliff,  Ohio. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:  In  regard  to  the  windmill  will  say  that  the  windmill  is  as  good,  or 
better,  than  we  expected  to  find  it,  and  cheaper  than  we  could  have  bought  here. 
We  also  send  by  mail  for  another  bill  of  goods.  I  am  thinking  of  taking  a  trip  to 
Kansas,  If  I  do,  and  can  find  your  place  of  business,  will  come  and  see  you. 

I  remain,  yours  respectfully,  CHARLES  RAUX. 


HAS  SAVED  $75.00  OR  MORE  BY  PURCHASING  OF  US. 

Haverhill,  Kansas. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  received  one  windmill  about  two  years  ago  and  if  I  hadn’t  liked  it 
I  would  not  have  sent  for  another  last  summer.  They  have  proved  all  that  you 
claimed  them  to  be.  They  saved  me  about  $25.00  on  the  two  windmills.  The  two 
sewing  machines  are  also  very  satisfactory  and  have  proved  all  you  claimed  for 
them.  According  to  the  way  they  are  selling  here,  I  have  saved  about  $50.00  on  the 
two  machines.  The  bicycle  proved  satisfactory  too,  a&  did  all  the  numerous  other 
things  I  have  received  from  you.  I  have  no  complaint,  whatever,  to  make.  My 
nurchases  have  amounted  to  $200.00  to  $300.00. 

Very  truly  yours,

OUR  IMPROVED  KENWOOD  GALVANIZED 
STEEL  PUMPING  WINDMILLS 

$11.95  to  $29.95 

TO  BETTER  ILLUSTRATE  the  Improved  Kenwood  Pump¬ 
ing  Windmills,  which  we  claim  are  the  best  pumping  windmills  ever 
sold  to  anyone  at  any  price,  we  show  herewith  three  illustrations  of 
our  high  grade  Improved  Kenwood  Galvanized  Steel  8- Foot  Pumping 
Windmill  as  it  appears  when  mounted  on  a  steel  tower. 

Illustration  No.  2  is  a  picture  of  the  windmill  taken  behind 
the  wheel  and  to  the  left  of  the  vane.  It  shows  the  con- 


Illustration  No.  2 

struction  of  the  wheel  throughout  as  it  appears  when  looking  at 
the  back  of  the  wheel.  It  also  shows  the  perfect  model  of  the  vane 
employed  in  all  Improved  Kenwood  Windmills,  the  strongest,  hand¬ 
somest  and  best  made  vane  used  on  any  windmill. 

THE  TANGENT  ARMS  AND  BRACING,  which  make 
the  wheel  of  the  Improved  Kenwood  Windmill  so  strong,  are  plainly 
shown  in  this  illustration,  and  we  are  sure  that  it  will  convince  you 

—  12  — 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


13 


that  the  Improved  Kenwood  wind  wheel  is  the  strongest  and  best 
braced  windmill  wheel  made,  a  wheel  that  will  stand  almost  any 
kind  of  a  storm  and  will  never  blow  down  or  become  wrecked, 
unless  the  velocity  of  the  wind  becomes  a  tornado  or  cyclone.  In 
this  view  we  show  the  windmill  with  the  vane  and  wheel  in  the 
position  taken  when  the  wheel  is  in  operation,  namely,  with  the  vane 
standing  at  right  angles  with  the  wheel. 


Illustration  No.  3 


In  Illustration  No.  3  we  show  a  full  back  view  of  the  Im¬ 
proved  Kenwood  Pumping  Windmill,  the  wheel  being  parallel  with 
the  vane,  being  the  position  taken  by  the  wheel  when  the  windmill 
is  not  in  operation.  In  this  illustration  you  will  note  that  there  are 
no  obstructions  of  any  kind  to  prevent  the  wind  from  exerting  its  full 
force  and  effect  upon  the  sails  of  the  Improved  Kenwood  Windmill; 
in  other  words,  there  are  no  circles  running  through  the  sail  sheets 
and  no  beads  around  the  edges  of  the  sails  to  cause  undue  friction.

You  will  also  note  the  great  width  and  strength  of  the  vane  hinge, 
and  the  powerful  leverage  which  the  governor  exerts  on  the  vane,  owing 
to  the  distance  from  the  vane  hinge  to  the  point  where  the  governor  con¬ 
nects  with  the  lower  vane  bar.  This  vane  cannot  be  blown  into  the 
wheel 

The  Picture  Shown  in  Illustration  No.  4  is  taken  in  front 
and  to  the  right  of  the  wind  wheel,  its  special  purpose  being 
to  show  you  the  perfect  design  and  construction  of  the  wind 
wheel  used  on  the 
I  mproved  Kenwood  r  ? 

Windmills.  In  this  J| 

illustration  the  vane 
and  wheel  are  shown 
at  right  angles  with 
each  other,  as  they 
appear  when  the  wind¬ 
mill  is  in  operation 
Every  sail  and  every 
part  of  the  wheel,  the 
bracing  and  everything 
that  enters  into  the 
construction  of  the 
I  mproved  Kenwood 
Wheel,  is  very  clearly 
shown  in  this  illustra¬ 
tion. 


It  is  impossible  to  design  or  build  a  stronger  windmill  wheel 
than  that  furnished  on  the  improved  Kenwood  line  of  windmills 

While  these  three  illustrations  are  exact  reproductions  of  our  well 
known  high  grade  Improved  Kenwood  Galvanized  Steel  8-Foot 
Pumping  Windmill,  they  also  give  you  a  clear  idea  of  the  general 
construction  of  all  Improved  Kenwood  Windmills.  Taken  in  con¬ 
nection  with  detailed  illustrations  and  descriptive  matter,  which  will 
be  found  in  the  following  pages,  you  can  obtain  as  intelligent  an 
idea  of  the  Improved  Kenwood  Windmills  as  though  you  could  see 
the  windmills  themselves  and  examine  them  piece  by  piece. 


HAS  GIVEN  SATISFACTION 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill.  Batesville,  Texas. 

Dear  Sirs:  The  windmill  I  bought  of  you  last  spring  has  given  entire  satisfac¬ 
tion.  Yours  truly,  MONROE  MARTIN. 


IMPROVED  KENWOOD  GALVANIZED  STEEL 
BACK  GEARED  PUMPING  WINDMILLS 


THE  ASSEMBLED  MOTORS  of  all  Improved  Kenwood 
Pumping  Windmills  are  alike  in  general  construction,  the  difference 
being  in  the  weights,  measurements  and  strength,  each  being  properly 
proportioned  to  the  size  of  wind  wheel  and  vane  which 
they  are  to  carry.  The  motor  for  the  6-foot  windmill  is 
the  lightest  of  the  different  sizes.  The  motor  for  the 
8-foot  windmill  is  the  next  heavier  and  the  same 
motor  is  used  for  the  10-foot  windmill,  except  that  the 
shaft  is  heavier,  the  motor  being  abundantly  strong  for 
either  size  The  motor  for  the  12-foot 
windmill  is  the  heaviest  of  the  lot,  it 
being  designed  especially  for  very  heavy 
work  such  as  is  required  of  a  windmill 
of  this  size,  which  size  of  windmill  is 
generally  used  for  very  deep  wells,  or  for 
irrigation  purposes. 

Illustration  No.  5  shows  the  left 
hand  side  of  the  motor,  taken  partly 
from  the  back  of  the  mill,  giving  a  clear 
idea  of  the  manner  in  which  the  wind 
wheel  arms  are  set  tangent  on  the 
wheel  spiders  and  position  of  the 
gearing  and  the  different  strokes  of 
the  mill. 

Illustration  No.  6  shows  the  right  side  of  the 
motor,  giving  a  clear  conception  of  the  construction 
of  the  main  frame  and  the  adjustable  gear  shaft  box, 
also  of  the  connecting  rod,  the  vane  hinge  and 
the  wind  wheel  spiders.  Both  illustrations  show 
the  steel  channel  bar  stem  to  which  the  different  parts  of  the  motor 
are  secured  and  which  forms  a  pivot  or  turning  post  for  the  entire 
windmill.  This  stem  is  made  of  very  heavy  channel  steel,  and  the 
main  casting  and  the  different  parts  of  the  motor  are  secured  to  it  by 
strong  set  screws.  This  bar  has  a  casting  at  its  upper  end,  to  which 

—  15  — 


Illustration  No.  5 


16 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


the  upper  bar  of  the  vane  is  hinged;  it  has  a  casting  at  the  lower  end, 
the  outside  of  which  is  circular  shaped  to  fit  the  step  box  which 
guides  and  holds  the  lower  end  of  the  bar  and  keeps  the  mill 
plumb.  This  casting  also  guides  the  steel  pump  rod  and  the  pull 
out  wire.  The  upper  end  of  the  stem  forms  guides  or  ways  for  the 
pitman  head. 


THE  MAIN  CASTING  of  the  motor  is  heavy  and  strong  and 
is  fastened  to  the  stem  at  the  extreme  upper  and 
lower  ends  of  the  casting.  The  bearings  for  tne  main 
shaft  are  contained  in  this  main  casting,  they  are 
formed  by  a  very  long  sleeve  which  is  babbitted  at 
both  ends,  the  center  forming  an  oil  chamber  and  hav¬ 
ing  a  large  oil  box  on  the  top  The  lower  bar  of  the 
vane  is  also  hinged  to  this  casting  and 
one  of  the  sheaves  around  which  the 
pull  out  chain  passes  is  contained 
in  this  casting. 

THE  MAIN  SHAFT  which 
carries  the  wind  wheel  is  cold  rolled  steel. 

The  two  wind  wheel  spiders  are  securely 
fastened  to  the  outer  end  of  this  shaft 
and  the  small  gear  is  fastened  to  the  inner 
end,  the  large  spider  and  the  small  gear 
forming  collars  which  prevent  end  play  of 
the  shaft.  The  large  gear,  which  is  com¬ 
monly  known  as  the  pumping  gear  is  car¬ 
ried  by  a  shaft  which  is  supported  by  a 
casting  having  bearings  similar  to  those  on 
the  main  casting,  except  that  the  bearings 
are  shorter.  Provision  is  made  for  oiling  this 
shaft  by  an  oil  chamber  between  the  two  bearings 
and  a  large  oil  cup  on,  top  of  the  casting. 

This  casting  is  bolted  securely  to  the  main  frame 
and  can  be  adjusted  so  that  the  large  gear  and 
the  small  gear  can  always  be  kept  in  perfect  line  and  at  proper 
mesh  This  is  a  very  important  feature  which  will  not  be  found 
on  other  windmills  and  is  one  which  will  be  thoroughly  appreciated  by 
the  many  users  of  windmills  who  have  had  trouble  with  gearing  which 


Illustration  No.  6 


SEARS.  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


IV 


was  not  properly  meshed  and  which  had  become  worn  by  continual  use. 

THE  MAIN  GEAR  provides  for  three  different  lengths  of 
pump  stroke,  on  each  windmill.  The  strokes  of  the  6-foot,  8-foot 
and  10-foot  windmills  being  4  inches,  6  inches  and  7  inches,  and 
the  strokes  of  the  12-foot  windmill  being  inches,  8  inches  and 
9  inches.  These  different  strokes  are  obtained  by  secuiing  the  wrist 
pin  into  one  of  the  three  holes  which  are  bored  in  the  large  gear. 

THE  CONNECTING  ROD  which  operates  the  pump  rod 
has  a  long  bearing  at  each  end  and  each  bearing  is  provided  with 
a  large  oil  cup.  This  rod  connects  with  a  pitman  head  which  has 
long  bearing  surfaces  and  is  guided  by  and  works  upon  the  channel 
bar  stem,  this  pitman  head  being  provided  with  a  large  oil  cup  or 
chamber  at  its  upper  end  and  connecting  on  the  inner  side  of  the 
channel  bar  direct  to  the  steel  pitman  rod.  This  steel  pitman  rod 
passes  down  the  inner  side  of  the  channel  bar  and  through  the  end 
casting  before  referred  to,  where  it  connects  by  means  of  a  swivel 
joint  direct  with  the  wood  pump  pole  of  the  windmill. 

THE  IMPROVED  KENWOOD  WINDMILLS  pivot  or 
turn  on  the  turn  table  very  easily,  in  fact,  more  easily  than  the 
so-called  ball  bearing  mills.  This  because  the  lower  surface  of  the 
main  casting  is  perfectly  true  and  is  chilled  hard  and  smooth.  The 
main  casting  rests  upon  a  pivot  casting,  the  upper  surface  of  which 
is  chilled  perfectly  hard  and  true,  the  lower  surface  being  semi¬ 
circular  shaped  to  rest  into  the  cup  shaped  top  of  our  tower  caps 
or  mast  caps.  A  suitable  oiling  device  is  provided  for  oiling  these 
pivot  surfaces  and  aside  from  causing  the  windmill  to  turn  freely 
and  easily,  the  construction  referred  to  allows  the  windmill  to  adjust 
itself  to  any  or  all  irregularities  without  binding  or  cramping  the  pivot. 

THE  PULL-OUT  WIRE  after  being  passed  through  the 
pump  pole  swivel  joint,  to  prevent  it  from  winding  around  the  pump 
pole,  passes  up  through  the  inner  side  of  the  channel  bar  stem  and 
connects  with  the  pull-out  chain  which  passes  around  the  chain 
sheaves  and  connects  with  the  vane  by  an  arm  which  gives  good 
leverage  for  pulling  the  windmill  out  of  the  wind. 

THE  GOVERNING  DEVICE  used  on  the  Improved  Ken¬ 
wood  Windmills  is  one  of  the  most  simple  and  effective  ever  at¬ 
tached  to  a  windmill.  It  has  a  long  tension  spring  which  is  abun¬ 
dantly  strong  to  handle  the  vane,  yet  not  so  stiff  but  what  the  wheel 


18 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


can  be  pulled  out  of  the  wind  easily.  One  of  the  greatest  faults 
with  most  windmills  is,  that,  when  the  wheel  us  pulled  out  of  the 
wind  the  vane  comes  against  the  bumper  (which  is  usually  placed 
close  to  the  vane),  with  such  force  that  it  bends  or  strains  the  vane, 
and  with  such  windmills,  in  case  of  heavy  storms  the  vane  will 
bend,  and  be  blown  into  the  wheel,  wrecking  the  entire  windmill. 
Again,  on  the  average  windmill  when  the  vane  is  freed,  so  as  to 
throw  the  wheel  into  the  wind,  the  vane  goes  back  with  such  force 
as  to  strain  the  entire  windmill. 

THE  IMPROVED  KENWOOD  WINDMILLS  are  pro¬ 
vided  with  a  bumper  rod  which  is  hinged  to  the  main  frame  of  the 
windmill  and  connected  to  the  lower  vane  arm  at  a  considerable 
distance  from  the  vane  hinge.  This  bumper  rod  is  provided  with 
stops  and  compression  springs  both  inside  and  outside  of  the  bracket 
which  connects  the  bumper  rod  to  the  lower  vane  arm  and  as  these 
stops  are  properly  adjusted,  there  is  no  jar  or  strain  whatever, 
either  in  pulling  the  wheel  out  of  the  wind  or  letting  it  back  into 
the  wind,  neither  can  the  vane  be  blown  into  the  wind  wheel.  The 
governing  device  is  clearly  shown  in  illustrations  Nos.  2,  3  and  4. 

THE  BRAKE  of  the  Improved  Kenwood  Windmill  works 
against  the  inner  surface  of  the  large  wind  wheel  spider.  It  is  ad¬ 
justable  and  very  effective,  holding  the  wind  wheel  perfectly  still 
when  the  wheel  is  pulled  out  of  the  wind,  and  is  operated  by  the 

action  of  pulling  the  wheel  out  of  the  wind. 

THE  WIND  WHEEL  sections,  arms  and  braces  and  the 
complete  vane  are  galvanized  after  completion.  The  motor  and  its 
parts  and  all  castings  and  similar  parts  are  nicely  painted,  so  that  the 
complete  windmill  is  finished  in  a  workmanlike  manner. 

We  do  not  claim  that  the  Improved  Kenwood  Windmills  and 
Tov/ers  are  the  heaviest  windmills  and  towers  made,  but  we  do 
claim  that  they  are  the  best  proportioned,  and  most  substantial  wind¬ 
mills  and  towers  on  the  market  at  the  present  time,  and  we  uphold 

this  claim  fully  by  the  guarantee  under  which  we  sell  them.  A 

heavy  mass  of  cast  iron  and  steel  does  not  make  a  windmill,  nor 
do  a  few  heavy  steel  bars  make  a  tower,  but  a  sufficient  amount 
of  iron  and  steel  properly  formed,  proportioned  and  distributed  can 
be  made  into  a  thoroughly  effective  and  substantial  windmill,  and 
angle  steel  of  proper  proportions  when  properly  put  together  and 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


braced  will  make  an  exceedingly  strong  and  handsome  tower,  and 
this  is  the  way  Improved  Kenwood  Windmills  and  Towers  are  de 
signed  and  made.

Kenwood  Pumping 
Windmills  It  shows 
the  long  double  bab¬ 
bitted  bearing  for  the 
main  shaft  with  the 
large  oil  cup  on  its  top. 
This  frame  is  simple, 
strong  and  very  easily 
replaced  in  case  of  accident.  It  is 
secured  to  the  heavy  channel  steel 
pivot  bar  by  strong  set  screws

justable  shaft  box  which  carries  the 
large  pumping  gear  shaft.  It  has 
a  double  babbitted  bearing  with  oil 
chamber  in  center  and  oil  cup  on  top 
This  shaft  box  is  bolted  securely  to 
the  side  of  the  main  frame  with 
heavy  bolts  which  pass  through  slot¬ 
ted  holes  and  it  is  adjusted  and  held 
in  perfect  alignment  by  a  set  screw 
under  the  end  next  to  the  gear. 

Illustration  No.  9  shows  the  heavy 
channel  steel  pivot  bar  upon  which 
the  various  parts  of  the  mill  are 
firmly  secured  by  heavy  set  screws. 
This  makes  a  much  better  and 
more  satisfactory  turning  post  than 
the  gas  pipe  which  is  cast 
into  the  main  frame  of  the 
ordinary  windmill,  because 
it  is  stronger,  and  as  it  is 
not  a  fixed  part  of  the  main 
frame,  should  an  accident 


20 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


occur,  it  makes  it  much  easier  and  less  expensive  to  repair  the  mill, 
in  fact,  it  allows  one  to  put  the  windmill  together  piece  by  piece,  on 

top  of  the  tower,  or  to  take  it  down  in  the  same  manner

PRICES  FOR  IMPROVED  KENWOOD  GAL¬ 
VANIZED  STEEL  PUMPING  WINDMILLS. 

The  windmill  which  we  advertise  at  $1  1.95  is  our  No.  32N1400, 
6-foot  Pumping  Windmill,  price  $11.95,  and  is  a  size  which  will  be 
found  very  desirable  and  serviceable  for  use  in  pumping  water  at  an 
elevation  of  100  feet  or  less.,  provided  you  use  a  pump  cylinder  of 
proper  dimensions. 

Pumping  windmills  are  complete  with  wind  wheel,  assembled 
motor,  vane,  pump  pole  swivel,  pump  connection,  step  box,  adjustable 
pull-out  lever  and  sufficient  wood  pump  pole  and  galvanized  steel 
pull-out  wire  for  a  tower  40  feet  in  height  In  other  words,  the 
pumping  windmill  complete  but  without  a  tower. 

When  a  pumping  windmill  is  ordered  without  a  steel  tower,  it 
is  regularly  furnished  with  a  flat  cap  to  set  on  top  of  the  posts  of  a 
wood  tower,  but  instead  of  a  wood  tower  cap,  if  so  ordered,  we  will 
furnish  a  cap  for  a  four-post  steel  tower,  or  a  cap  for  a  three-post 
steel  tower  or  a  set  of  mast  castings. 

When  ordering  a  windmill  to  go  on  a  wood  mast,  always  give 
size  of  mast,  and  when  ordering  a  windmill  without  a  steel  tower, 
be  sure  to  state  the  height  of  tower  or  mast  on  which  you  will 


erect  the  windmill.  Shipped  knocked  down  from  factory  in  South¬

THE  ASSEMBLED  MOTOR  of  our  12-foot  Improved  Ken¬ 
wood  High  Geared  Power 
Windmill  is  plainly  shown  in 
illustrations  Nos.  29  and  30.

showing  the  appearance  of  the  back  of  the 
mill  and  giving  a  clear  idea  of  the  gearing 
and  the  manner  in  which  the  power  is  trans¬ 
mitted  to  the  vertical  shafting. 

THE  MAIN  CASTING  is  very  heavy 
and  strong,  and  is  secured  to  a  long  heavy  chan¬ 
nel  bar  which  holds  the  windmill  on  the  tower 
or  mast  perfectly  plumb  and  allows  it  to  turn 
freely.  The  bearings  for  the  main  shaft  are 
contained  in  a  long  sleeve  which  is  babbitted 
at  both  ends,  leaving  a  space  between  the  two 
bearings  for  oil  and  having  a  large  oil  cup  on 
top  of  the  sleeve.  The  main  shaft  is  long  and 
very  heavy;  to  it  are  secured  the  outer  and  in¬ 
ner  wind  wheel  spiders  and  the  large  spur  or 
Illustration  No.  29  driving  gear  of  the  mill;  the  large  spur  gear 

and  the  large  wind  wheel  spider  acting  as  col¬ 
lars  and  preventing  end  play  of  the  shaft.  The  small  spur  gear  and 
the  large  bevel  gear  are  supported  by  a  shaft  which  runs  in  two 
bearings,  one  between  the  small  spur  gear  and  the  large  bevel  gear  and 
the  other  back  of  the  large  bevel  gear.  The  large  bevel  gear  in 
turn  transmits  the  power  to  the  vertical  shaft  through  the  bevel 
pinion  which  is  secured  to  the  upper  end  of  the  vertical  shaft,  the 
vertical  shaft  having  a  long  babbitted  bearing  directly  under  and 
close  to  the  bevel  pinion.

In  all  other  respects,  that  is, 
the  wind  wheel,  the  vane,  the  gov¬ 
erning  device,  the  pivot  surfaces,  the 
brake,  etc.,  our  power  windmill  is 
practically  constructed  the  same  as 
our  pumping  windmills. 

FOR  LIGHT  FARM  WORK, 

the  utility  of  the  steel  power  wind¬ 
mill  as  an  economical  and  satisfac¬ 
tory  motive  power  is  recognized  and 
acknowledged  in  every  community  in 
which  such  windmills  have  been  used, 
but  there  is  a  limit  both  ways  to  this 
economy,  and  our  experience  has 
taught  us  that  the  12-foot  power  wind¬ 
mill  is  the  only  desirable  size

Therefore,  we  now  sell  but  one 
size  of  power  windmill,  namely,  the 
12 -foot  size,  and  in  every  case 
where  a  customer  desires  greater 
power,  we  advise  him  to  purchase 
a  gasoline  engine  or  some  other 
similar  motive  power,  because  we 
consider  his  interests,  and  know 
that  a  gasoline  engine,  costing  but 
large  power  windmill,  will  give  him 


better  results  and  be  far  more  satisfactory. 


THE  IMPROVED  KENWOOD  POWER  WI  NDMILLS 

are  geared  up  to  1,  that  is,  the  vertical  shaft  of  the  windmill 
makes  5^  revolutions  to  every  revolution  of  the  wind  wheel  This 
gives  the  vertical  shaft  from  350  to  450  revolutions  per  minute, 
depending  upon  the  velocity  of  the  wind.  By  means  of  shafting,  foot 
gear  and  pulleys,  power  can  be  transmitted  to  various  machines  such 
as  feed  cutters,  wood  saws,  corn  shellers,  churns,  pump  jacks,  etc. 


THE  POWER  DEVELOPED  by  power  windmills  depends 
very  much  upon  the  velocity  of  the  wind.  The  design  of  our  Im¬ 
proved  Kenwood  Power  Windmill  is  such  that  you  can  obtain  from 
the  force  of  the  wind  the  greatest  possible  amount  of  power,  and  in

winds  that  vary  from  ten  to  forty  miles  an  hour,  it  will  develop 
from  one  to  four  horse  power;  the  average  winds  which  are  utilized 
resulting  in  about  two  and  one-half  horse  power.  We  however,  wish 
it  distinctly  understood  that  we  guarantee  that  our  Improved  Ken¬ 
wood  Power  Windmill  will  develop,  under  like  conditions  and  with 
the  same  velocity  of  wind,  as  much  or  more  power  than  any  other 
windmill  of  the  same  diameter. 

THE  PRINCIPAL  PARTS  of  our  12-foot  power  windmill 
are  almost  identical  with  similar  parts  of  our  12-foot  pumping  wind¬ 
mill,  and  the  special  parts  are  very  plainly  shown  in  illustrations 
Nos.  29  and  30,  therefore  we  do  not  deem  it  necessary  to  illus¬ 
trate  these  parts  separately.  Will  say,  however,  that  especial  care 
is  taken  in  the  construction  of  our  power  windmills  in  design,  ma¬ 
terial  and  workmanship,  with  a  view  to  making  them  strong,  service¬ 
able  and  powerful.

A  power  windmill  is  complete  with  wind  wheel,  assembled  mo¬ 
tor,  vane,  vertical  shafting  extending  five  feet  below  the  turn  table, 
step  box,  adjustable  pull-out  lever  and  sufficient  galvanized  wire  pull¬

complete,  but  without  a  tower. 

A  foot  gear  and  a  certain  amount  of  vertical  shafting  (depend¬ 
ing  upon  the  height  of  tower  or  mast),  are  always  necessary  items 
which  must  be  ordered  with  a  power  windmill,  and  nearly  always 
you  will  require  ten  feet  or  more  of  line  shafting.  These  items  are 
described  and  priced  on  other  pages  of  this  catalogue  and  are  not 
included  in  the  price  of  the  windmill,  but  must  be  ordered  separately. 

When  a  power  windmill  is  ordered  without  a  tower,  it  is  regu¬ 
larly  furnished  with  fittings  for  a  wood  mast,  but  instead  of  the  fit¬ 
tings  for  a  wood  mast,  if  so  ordered,  we  will  furnish  a  flat  cap  to  set 
on  top  of  the  posts  of  a  wood  tower,  or  a  cap  for  a  four-post  steel

IMPROVED  KENWOOD  GAL¬ 
VANIZED  ANGLE  STEEL 
FOUR-POST  TOWERS 

Our  Improved  Kenwood  Angle  Steel  Four 
Post  Towers  are  absolutely  the  best,  strong¬ 
est  and  most  substantial  towers  which 
can  be  made.  Our  experi¬ 
ence  in  the  windmill  busi¬ 
ness  has  enabled  us  to  make 
certain  improvements  in 
the  construction  and  brac¬ 
ing  of  windmill  towers 
which  not  only  adds  to  the 
strength  of  the  towers  but 
also  to  the  convenience  of 
handling  and  erecting  same 

CONSTRUCTION  OF 
IMPROVED  KEN¬ 
WOOD  TOWERS 

We  have  adopted  10-foot 
corner  posts  in  the  con¬ 
struction  of  our  towers; 
first,  because  towers  hav¬ 
ing  joints  every  10  feet  are 
stronger  and  stiffer  than 
those  having  joints  20  feet 
apart;  second,  because  it 
enables  us  to  strengthen 
our  towers  materially  from 
the  top  to  the  bottom;  third, 
because  it  makes  it  unnec¬ 
essary  to  handle  long  heavy 
pieces  of  steel  and  also  pre¬ 
vents  a  great  deal  of  loss  in 
transit,  which  occurs  in  the 
handling  of  long  material 
and  which  cannot  be  loaded 
into  short  cars,  it  being  a

well  known  fact  that  where  there  is  long  material  which  cannot  be 
loaded  in  short  cars,  the  smaller  parts  are  sent  forward  and  the  longer 
parts  are  left  to  follow  by  another  train  and  are  frequently  lost  by  this 
splitting  up  of  the  shipment. 

Illustration  No.  31  shows  the  plan  of  our  towers  and  aside  from 
showing  the  corner  posts,  cross  girts,  brace  rods,  ladder,  anchor  posts 
and  platform,  it  also  gives  approximate  measurements  at  the  base 
of  towers  of  different  heights.  The  cross  girts  above  the  platform 
add  materially  to  the  strength  of  the  tower,  and  these  girts  are  not 
used  by  many  other  tower  makers. 

For  the  top  corner  posts  we  use  angle  steel  of  ample  strength 
for  this  part  of  the  tower,  and  as  the  tower  increases  in  height  we 
use  heavier  angle  steel,  and  by  so  doing  build  a  tower  which  increases 
in  strength  as  it  increases  in  height.  Each  section  of  the  corner 
posts  is  securely  bolted  together  by  steel  bolts  of  ample  strength.  The 
upper  10-foot  section  of  the  tower  is  provided  with  two  or  more  com¬ 
plete  sets  of  cross  girts,  as  may  be  required,  and  with  one  complete 
set  of  brace  rods.  Each  succeeding  section  of  the  tower  is  provided 
with  one  complete  set  of  cross  girts  and  one  complete  set  of  brace 
rods,  therefore,  at  the  base  of  every  one  of  our  towers,  next  to  the 
ground,  there  is  a  complete  set  of  cross  girts,  bracing  the  tower 
firmly  and  making  it  rigid. 

Another  feature  in  the  construction  of  these  towers  is  the  use 
of  diagonal  cross  rods  for  the  purpose  of  bracing  the  tower  from 
corner  to  corner,  so  that  the  tower  cannot,  twist  or  be  warped  by 
the  wind. 

The  platform  furnished  with  our  towers  is  very  large  and  strong 
and  the  ladder  leading  to  the  platform  is  a  regulation  ladder,  made 
with  angle  steel  sides  and  steel  steps  and  bolted  securely  to  the  cross 
girts,  making  a  ladder,  which  is  safe  and  easy  to  climb. 

Our  method  of  tightening  the  brace  rods  is  superior  to  that  used 
by  any  other  company,  every  brace  rod  being  tightened  equally  and 
an  equal  strain  being  put  on  to  each  rod. 

The  brace  rods  of  our  towers  are  not  reduced  in  size  by  having 
threads  cut  upon  them,  but  the  full  strength  of  the  material  is  left  in 
the  rod  end  to  end,  and,  as  before  mentioned,  there  are  eight  of 
these  brace  rods  to  every  10-foot  section  of  the  tower.

The  materials  used  in  the  construction  of  the  Improved  Ken¬ 
wood  Towers  are  of  the  best  that  can  be  obtained  For  the  corner 
posts  and  cross  girts  we  use  the  best  quality  of  angle  steel,  with  a 
fillet  or  round  corner  where  the  two  legs  of  the  angles  meet  on  the 
inner  side. 


Illustration  No.  32  shows 
the  lower  10  feet  of  one  of  our 
regular  pumping  windmill 
towers.  The  special  purpose 
of  this  illustration  is  to  show 
the  thoroughness  of  the  brac¬ 
ing  employed  in  our  towers. 

As  will  be  seen, 
the  cross  girts  are 
secured  to  the  cor¬ 
ner  posts  by  one 
set  of  the  bolts 
which  bolt  the  cor¬ 
ner  posts  together, 
and  the  last  set  of 
cross  girts  is  at  the 
joint  close  to  the 
ground,  where  the 
corner  posts  bolt  to 
the  anchor  posts.

described  in  connection  with  illustration  No.  28.  It  shows  the  four 
corner  posts  of  the  tower,  the  set  of  cross  girts  and  brace  rods  and 
the  ladder  belonging  to  this  section  of  the  tower,  also  the  set  of  cross 
girts,  diagonal  cross  rods  and  the  pump  pole  guide,  belonging  to  the 
next  upper  section  of  the  tower

Improved  Kenwood  Towers  are  galvanized  after  completion,  that 
is,  every  piece  of  the  tower  is  cut,  punched  and  finished  before  the 
different  parts  are  galvanized,  therefore,  these  towers  are  far  superior 
to  the  ordinary  tower,  the  parts  of  which  are  galvanized  before  they 
are  cut  or  punched.  Another  thing,  to  which  we  particularly  desire 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


33 


to  call  our  customers’  attention,  is  the  fact  that  all  brace  rods  and 
diagonal  brace  rods  are  galvanized,  whereas  those  of  many  other 
towers  are  simply  painted.  We  do  not  galvanize  our  bolts  but  dip 
them.  If  we  were  to  galvanize  them,  the  threads  would  have  to  be 
re-cut  and  they  would  then  not  be  as  good  as  dipped  bolts.  All 
cast  iron  parts  of  the  tower,  also  the  platform,  are  nicely  painted, 
therefore  the  entire  tower  is  finished  in  a  perfect  manner. 

Illustration  No.  33  shows  a  section 
of  one  corner  of  our  towers,  illustrating  the 
manner  of  bolting  the  corner  posts  together, 
bolting  the  cross  girts  and  brace  rods  to  the 
corner  posts,  and  showing  the  oblong  holes 
which  allows  the  tightening  of  the  brace 
rods.  This  illustration  in  connection  with 
illustration  No.  32  cannot  help  but  convince 
you  that  our  towers  are  strong,  well  braced 
and  easily  put  together. 

Illustration  No.  34  shows  one  of  the 
anchor  posts  of  our  towers.  These  posts 
are  five  feet  long,  being  from  six  inches 
to  a  foot  longer  than  those  usually  furnished, 
and  instead  of  supplying  the  bottom  of  our 
anchor  posts  with  a  small  casting  which 
forms  no  base  whatever,  and  which  is  usually 

riveted  to  the  bottom  of  the  anchor  posts  with  small 
rivets,  each  anchor  post  for  all  of  our  towers  is  fur¬ 
nished  with  a  large  cast  iron  plate  and  the  anchor 
posts  are  bolted  to  these  plates  with  four  heavy  steel 
bolts,  giving  as  substantial  a  fastening  at  the  anchor 
plates  as  is  provided  at  the  joints  of  the  corner  posts. 
This  anchor  plate  is  shown  in  the  illustration,  and 
we  particularly  ask  our  customers  to  compare  the 
anchorage  of  our  towers  with  those  of  any  other 
make. 

The  pull-out  lever  which  is  used  to  pull  the 
windmill  out  of  the  wind  is  always  a  part  of  the 
windmill,  but  when  the  windmill  is  furnished  with  one 
of  our  steel  towers,  the  pull-out  lever  which  is  sup¬ 
plied  clamps  to  one  of  the  corner  posts  of  the  tower 


34 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


and  is  adjustable,  so  that  it  is  an  easy  matter  to  move  this  lever 
up  and  down  to  give  proper  tension  on  the  pull-out  wire. 

Towers  for  pumping  windmills  are  supplied  with  pump  pole 
guides,  and  towers  for  power  windmills  are  supplied  with  supports 
for  the  vertical  shaft  boxes.  Our  towers  are  made  in  different 
weights  to  suit  the  size  of  the  windmill  which  is  to  be  erected  upon 
them.  They  are  also  made  in  three  classes,  that  is,  regular  towers 
for  pumping  windmills,  not  suitable  for  supporting  tanks  in  the  towers, 
regular  towers  for  power  windmills,  not  suitable  for  supporting  tanks 
in  the  tower,  and  suburban  outfit  towers  for  either  6-foot,  8-foot  or  10- 
foot  pumping  windmills,  especially  designed  for  supporting  tower  tanks 
described  in  connection  with  such  towers. 

We  advise  our  customers  in  ordering  a  windmill  to  include 
with  their  order  an  order  for  a  steel  tower  to  match.  While  our 
windmills  are  adapted  for  and  thousands  of  them  are  erected  on 
wood  towers  or  wood  masts,  our  prices  for  steel  towers  are  so  ex¬ 
tremely  low  that  a  steel  tower,  considering  the  fact  that  it  will  out¬ 
last  any  make  of  wooden  tower,  is  really  cheaper  than  a  wooden 
tower. 

When  deciding  upon  the  height  of  tower  to  order,  be  sure  to 
select  one  high  enough.  The  bottom  of  the  wheel  should  be  at 
least  ten  feet  above  any  obstruction  which  is  within  a  quarter  of  a 
mile  of  the  windmill,  provided  it  is  possible  to  elevate  the  windmill 
to  this  height.  Sometimes,  of  course,  this  cannot  be  done.  It  may 
be  found  necessary  to  erect  the  windmill  near  the  foot  of  a  hill  or 
in  a  place  where  it  would  be  impossible  to  elevate  to  a  point  above 
obstructions  which  might  be  on  one  side  of  the  windmill.  In  such 
case  select  the  height  of  tower  which  will  give  you  proper  results 
from  the  directions  in  which  you  can  utilize  the  wind,  and  do  not 
expect  to  operate  the  windmill  when  the  wind  comes  from  the  direction 
of  the  hill  or  other  obstruction.

Please  note  that  different  sizes  of  windmills  require  different 
strength  of  towers,  and  that  we  list  towers  of  different  weights 
and  strength  for  different  sizes  of  windmills.  When  ordering  a  tower, 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


35 


order  by  the  catalogue  number  to  the  left  of  the  height  of  tower  and 
allow  the  price  shown  to  the  right  of  the  height  of  tower  in  the  column 
which  indicates  the  size  and  kind  of  windmill  with  which  the  tower  is 
to  be  used.  We  will  not  ship  out  a  windmill  and  tower  unless  the 
tower  ordered  is  the  tower  specified  by  us  for  use  with  the  size  of  wind¬ 
mill  selected,  or  is  heavier  than  the  tower  specified  by  us. 

Regular  towers  are  made  to  support  the  windmill  only  and  will  not 
support  a  tank  in  the  tower. 

Suburban  outfit  towers  are  made  to  support  a  tank  in  the  tower 
and  also  to  support  a  windmill  at  the  top  of  the  tower.  These  towers 
are  made  of  very  much  heavier  angle  steel  than  is  used  in  regular 
towers  up  to  the  point  where  the  bottom  of  the  tank  is  supported.  Above 
this  point  the  corner  posts  are  the  same  as  corresponding  sections  of 
the  regular  towers.  The  bottom  of  the  tank  is  supported  by  heavy  steel 
bars  which  take  the  place  of  that  particular  set  of  cross  girts,  and 
which  are  firmly  secured  to  the  corner  posts  by  very  heavy  bolts  and  on 
which  you  lay  timbers  for  the  tank  to  rest  on.  Otherwise  the  construc¬ 
tion  of  suburban  outfit  towers  is  the  same  as  the  construction  of  regular 
towers. 

Suburban  outfit  towers  for  supporting  an  1  1 -barrel  tank  are  made 
to  support  the  tank  at  20  feet  from  the  top  of  the  tower  to  the  bottom 
of  the  tank.  Those  for  supporting  a  27-barrel  tank  are  made  to  support 
the  tank  at  30  feet  from  the  top  of  the  tower  to  the  bottom  of  the  tank. 

The  prices  on  towers  are  for  the  towers  complete  including  a  wood 
platform,  four  anchor  posts  and  four  heavy  cast  iron  anchor  plates,  in 
other  words  the  tower  complete,  but  without  a  windmill.  Shipped 
knocked  down  from  factory  in  Southwestern  Michigan.

OUR  THIRTY  DAYS’  FREE  TRIAL  OFFER 

Under  which  condition  we  send  any  windmill  to  any  address  on  our 
regular  terms,  giving  the  buyer  the  privilege  of  giving  the  windmill 
a  thirty  days’  trial  on  his  own  ground,  with  the  option  to  return  it 
to  us  if  not  satisfactory  in  every  way  (we  to  return  his  money), 
makes  the  buyer  perfectly  secure. 

ABOUT  THE  WINDMILL  AGENT 

There  are  windmill  agents  who  make  their  living  by  selling 
windmills  on  easy  payment  terms  and  at  extremely  long  profits, 
both  to  the  manufacturer,  wholesaler,  and  the  agent  who  comes  to 
your  door.  He  will  tell  you  all  about  the  good  qualities  of  his 
windmill,  he  will  have  little  if  anything  to  say  in  favor  of  the  other 
man’s  windmill,  and  when  you  tell  him  you  can  buy  a.  40-foot  Steel 
Tower  and  an  8-foot  Steel  Windmill,  a  complete  galvanized  outfit  for 
$37.15,  when  he  has  probably  asked  you  $60.00  to  $80.00,  he 
will  tell  you  it  is  an  impossibility ;  he  may  tell  you  the  tower  is 
worthless  and  the  windmill  worse  than  that,  if  possible.  We  know 
he  says  many  unkind  things  about  us,  and,  unfortunately,  as  we  are 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


37 


not  on  the  ground,  we  are  not  there  to  defend  our  case.  We  have 
decided  to  say  nothing  in  attempt  to  make  any  response  to  this 
long  priced  agent,  but  let  the  buyer  decide  for  himself.  It  is  for 
this  reason  that  we  answer  all  his  arguments  by  saying  we  will  send 
any  windmill  to  any  address,  to  be  tried  thirty  days,  with  the  privilege 
of  returning,  the  money  to  be  refunded.  If  after  the  windmill  is  up 
and  tested,  any  agent  or  any  set  of  agents  can  convince  the  buyer 
that  we  are  wrong  and  the  agent  is  right,  it  is  the  privilege  of  the 
buyer  to  return  the  windmill  to  us,  all  at  our  expense,  his  money 
to  be  immediately  refunded. 

At  our  special  prices,  prices  as  shown  in  detail  on  the  pages 
of  this  catalogue,  prices  based  on  the  .actual  cost  of  material  and 
labor,  on  our  thirty  days’  free  trial  offer  and  our  binding  one  year 
guarantee,  on  our  reputation  as  the  largest  dealers  in  general  mer¬ 
chandise  in  the  world,  selling  direct  to  the  consumer,  on  our  finan¬ 
cial  responsibility,  with  a  capital  and  surplus  of  over  Two  Million 
Dollars,  to  make  good  our  every  promise,  representation  and  guaran¬ 
tee,  we  earnestly  speak  for  your  trade. 

For  further  details  and  general  description  of  all  our  pumping  and 
power  windmills,  we  refer  you  to  other  pages  of  this  catalogue. 


OUR  ONE  YEAR  BINDING  GUARANTEE 

One  of  the  strongest  guarantees  issued  with  any  windmill,  insures 
the  buyer  as  to  the  durability  of  the  windmill,  and  removes  any 
possible  chance  of  risk.  We  cannot  afford  to  sel1  you  a  windmill 
that  isn’t  exactly  right.  We  have  a  reputation  established  in  every 
section  of  the  country,  so  valuable  to  us  that  we  of  all  houses  could 
not  afford  to  send  out  a  windmill  or  tower  that  was  defective  or  weak 
in  any  piece  or  part.  Our  windmills  have  been  put  to  every  possible 
test,  every  point  has  been  carefully  studied,  the  weak  points  of  other 
windmills  have  been  made  strong  and  the  objectionable  ‘  features  in 
many  windmills  have  been  removed.  We  did  not  go  into  the 
windmill  business  on  this  extensive  scale  until  we  had  overcome  every 
difficulty  and  placed  ourselves  in  a  position  to  offer  a  strictly  high 
grade  all  steel  windmill  and  steel  tower  at  prices  so  far  below  any 
competitor,  that  we  feel  that  every  farmer  needing  a  windmill 
pumping  outfit  should  place  his  order  in  our  hands. 


PUMPING  WINDMILL  OUTFITS 


A  pumping  windmill  outfit  consists  of  a  windmill  alone  to  go 
on  a  wood  tower  or  a  windmill  and  whatever  height  of  regular  steel 
tower  you  may  require,  or  a  windmill,  a  suburban  outfit  steel  tower 
of  the  height  which  may  be  required  and  a  steel  tapered  tower  tank. 

HOW  IMPROVED  KENWOOD  GALVANIZED  STEEL 
BACK-GEARED  PUMPING  WINDMILLS 
CAN  BE  USED 

The  windmill  and  tower  may  be  set  directly  over  the  well,  so 
that  the  pump  will  be  in  the  center  of  the  tower,  or  the  tower  can 
be  set  close  to  the  spring  or  other  water  supply,  the  pump  set  so  as 
to  be  operated  direct  by  the  windmill  and  the  water  drawn  by  suc¬ 
tion  from  the  water  supply,  provided  the  water  supply  is  not  more 
than  twenty  feet  below  the  pump  cylinder. 

Where  it  is  not  possible  to  set  the  tower  and  windmill  over  the 
well,  and  the  distance  is  great  between  the  windmill  and  the  water 
supply,  it  is  always  better  to  place  the  pump  directly  over  the  water 
supply,  and  to  operate  it  by  means  of  quadrant  levers,  or  if  the  dis¬ 
tance  is  not  over  sixteen  feet,  you  can  use  a  pair  of  rocker  arms. 

HOW  TO  SELECT  A  PUMPING  WINDMILL 

The  lift  or  elevation  of  water  means  the  total  height  the  water 
is  raised  from  the  lowest  level  of  the  water  in  the  well,  no  matter 
whether  the  pipe  is  in  the  well  only  or  carried  to  a  tank  above  the 
ground.  Each  100  feet  of  horizontal  pipe  or  each  elbow  in  the  pipe 
should  be  counted  as  equal  to  a  lift  of  about  2\  feet.  We  recom¬ 
mend  the  following  selection  of  pumping  windmills  and  pump  cylin¬ 
ders  for  the  lifts  mentioned:  If  the  lift  is  less,  and  you  wish  to  use 
the  mill  for  irrigation  purposes,  the  size  of  cylinder  can  be  increased 
proportionately,  up  to  a  4-inch  cylinder  with  a  6-foot  windmill,  a  6- 
inch  cylinder  with  an  8-foot  windmill,  an  8-inch  cylinder  with  a  10- 
foot  windmill,  and  a  10-inch  cylinder  with  a  12  foot  windmill  to  lift 
water  ten  feet  or  less.  Smaller  cylinders  than  we  mention  can  be 
used  if  desired.

SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


39 


For  50-foot  lift:  Use  a  6-foot  mill  with  2^-inch  cylinder,  or 
an  8-foot  mill  with  a  3-inch  cylinder,  or  a  10-foot  mill  with  a  4-inch 
cylinder,  or  a  12-foot  mill  with  a  6 -inch  cylinder. 

For  75-foot  lift:  Use  a  6-foot  mill  with  a  2^-inch  cylinder,  or 
an  8-foot  mill  with  a  2f-inch  cylinder,  or  a  10-foot  mill  with  a  3£- 
inch  cylinder,  or  a  12-foot  mill  with  a  5-inch  cylinder. 

For  100-foot  lift:  Use  a  6-foot  mill  with  a  2-inch  cylinder, 
or  an  8-foot  mill  with  a  2^-inch  cylinder,  or  a  10-foot  mill  with  a 
3^-inch  cylinder,  or  a  12-foot  mill  with  a  4j--inch  cylinder. 

For  125-foot  lift:  Use  an  8 -foot  mill  with  a  2-^-inch  cylinder, 
or  a  10-foot  mill  with  a  3-inch  cylinder,  or  a  12-foot  mill  with  a 
4-inch  cylinder. 

For  150-foot  lift:  Use  an  8  foot  mill  with  a  2-inch  cylinder, 
or  a  10-foot  mill  with  a  2f-inch  cylinder,  or  a  12-foot  mill  with  a  3f- 
inch  cylinder, 

For  200-foot  lift:  Use  a  10-foot  mill  with  a  2^-inch  cylin¬ 
der,  or  a  12-foot  mill  with  a  3^-inch  cylinder. 

For  250-foot  lift:  Use  a  10-foot  mill  with  a  2^-inch  cylinder, 
or  a  12-foot  mill  with  a  2f-inch  cylinder. 

For  300-foot  lift:  Use  a  10-foot  mill  with  a  2-inch  cylinder, 
or  a  12-foot  mill  with  a  2^-mch  cylinder. 

Capacity  of  windmills  vary  under  different  conditions,  and  the 
above  table  shows  a  very  conservative  estimate  of  the  size  of  cyl¬ 
inders  which  should  be  used,  but,  whatever  variations  there  may  be, 
we  guarantee  that  the  Improved  Kenwood  Pumping  Windmills  will 
lift  as  much  water  under  equal  conditions  as  any  windmill  of  cor¬ 
responding  size,  and  that  they  will  operate  in  much  lighter  winds 
than  most  other  windmills. 

For  elevating  water  over  100  feet  the  work  is  too  heavy  and 
the  strain  too  great  for  ordinary  cylinders  and  small  pipe.  Deep  well 
cylinders  should  be  used  for  greater  depth  and  in  such  cases  when¬ 
ever  possible  you  should  use  pipe  larger  than  the  cylinder. 

For  general  work  do  not  select  a  cylinder  larger  than  those 
recommended  for  50-foot  elevation.  Cylinders  larger  than  4  inches 
cannot  be  used  with  ordinary  pumps.  5-inch,  6-inch,  8-inch  and  10- 
inch  cylinders  are  used  for  irrigation  purposes  or  in  shallow  wells 
only,  and  require  special  piping  and  fittings  above  the  cylinders.

IMPROVED  KENWOOD  GALVANIZED 
STEEL  REGULAR  PUMPING 
WINDMILL  OUTFITS 

FROM  $  2  4.80  TO  $84.10 

A  regular  pumping  windmill  outfit  consists  of  a  complete  gal¬ 
vanized  steel  pumping  windmill  and  a  complete  galvanized  steel 
regular  pumping  windmill  tower. 

OUR  ADVERTISED  OUTFIT  AT  $24.80 

The  regular  pumping  windmill  outfit  which  we  advertise  at 
$24.80  is  our  No.  32N1450,  and  consists  of  a  6-foot  pumping  wind¬ 
mill  and  a  20  foot  regular  pumping  windmill  tower.  This  makes  a 
very  desirable  outfit  when  the  lay  of  the  land  is  such  that  a  20-foot 
tower  is  high  enough  to  give  the  windmill  the  full  benefit  of  the  wind. 

OTHER  REGULAR  PUMPING  WINDMILL  OUTFITS 

FOR  PRICES  SEE  PAGE  43 

We  can  furnish  either  6-foot,  8-foot,  10-foot  or  12-foot  pumping 
windmill  with  either  20-foot,  30-foot,  40  foot,  50  foot  or  60-foot  towers. 
Before  selecting  a  pumping  windmill  or  a  tower  see  our  advice  about 
how  to  select  pumping  windmills  and  the  height  of  tower  which  should 
be  used,  which  will  be  found  on  pages  38,  39  and  42,  then  remember  that 
it  is  always  best  to  be  on  the  safe  side,  that  is  to  select  a  windmill 
which  will  pump  even  more  water  than  you  require  and  a  tower  which 
will  elevate  the  windmill  even  higher  than  is  absolutely  necessary, 
because  greater  capacity  in  the  windmill  than  you  absolutely  require  not 
only  insures  an  abundant  supply  of  water  but  it  adds  to  the  life  of  the 
windmill  itself,  while  a  tower  which  is  of  good  height  not  only  places  the 
windmill  where  it  will  obtain  the  force  of  winds  which  would  otherwise 
pass  over  the  windmill,  but  a  high  tower  is  always  safer  than  a  low 
tower  and  will  withstand  much  heavier  storms. 

Illustration  No.  1  on  page  2  shows  an  outfit  consisting  of  an  8-foot 
pumping  windmill  and  a  30-foot  regular  pumping  windmill  tower 
which  is  probably  the  most  popular  outfit  in  use,  and  while  we  advise 
the  selection  of  40-foot,  50-foot,  and  even  60-foot  towers  in*  some 

—  41  — 


42 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO  ,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


localities,  there  are  probably  more  30-foot  towers  in  use  than  all  other 
towers  combined,  and  this  tower  is  usually  high  enough. 

However,  the  tower  should  always  be  high  enough  to  bring  the 
windmill  well  up  above  the  tops  of  trees  or  other  obstructions,  like 
buildings,  etc.,  so  as  to  give  the  windmill  the  full  and  unbroken  force 
of  the  wind.  The  bottom  of  the  wheel  should  be  at  least  ten  feet 
above  any  obstruction  which  is  within  a  quarter  of  a  mile  of  the 
windmill,  provided  it  is  possible  to  elevate  the  windmill  to  this 
height.  Sometimes,  of  course,  this  cannot  be  done.  It  may  be 
found  necessary  to  erect  the  windmill  near  the  foot  of  a  hill  or  in 
a  place  where  it  would  be  impossible  to  elevate  to  a  point  above 
obstructions  which  might  be  on  one  side  of  the  windmill.  In  such  case, 
select  the  height  of  tower  which  will  give  you  proper  results  from 
the  directions  in  which  you  can  utilize  the  wind,  and  do  not  expect 
to  operate  the  windmill  when  the  wind  comes  from  the  direction  of 
the  hill  or  other  obstruction.  On  prairie  land,  as,  for  instance,  through 
Kansas,  Nebraska,  Colorado,  New  Mexico,  North  and  South  Dakota 
and  parts  of  Minnesota,  the  20-foot  and  30-foot  towers  are  very  popu¬ 
lar  and  answer  every  purpose  of  a  higher  or  more  expensive  tower,  but 
when  there  are  trees,  buildings,  hills  or  other  obstructions  the  40-foot, 
50-foot  or  60-foot  towers  will  be  found  the  best  and  most  satisfactory. 

Illustration  No.  35  shows  an  outfit  which  is  really  one  of  the 
best  outfits  for  ordinary  use.  It  consists  of  an  8-foot  pumping  windmill 
and  a  40-foot  regular  pumping  windmill  tower.  A  tower  which  is 
usually  high  enough  for  all  practical  purposes,  unless  there  be  trees  or 
high  buildings  in  the  vicinity  of  the  windmill. 

From  these  illustrations  you  get  a  very  good  idea  of  the  general 
appearance,  outline  and  proportions  of  our  regular  steel  pumping 
windmill  towers  and  steel  pumping  windmills.  From  the  various 
illustrations  and  detailed  descriptions  on  the  pages  of  this  catalogue  you 
can  get  almost  as  good  a  knowledge  of  the  mechanical  construction  and 
excellence  of  the  Improved  Kenwood  Windmills  and  Towers  as  you 
could  if  you  were  to  personally  examine  them. 

Our  windmills  and  towers  are  now  used  in  almost  every  county 
in  every  state  in  the  Union.  They  have  been  placed  side  by  side  in 
competition  with  almost  every  other  steel  and  wood  windmill  and  steel 
tower  made,  and  from  everywhere  we  have  received  the  most  flattering 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL.

reports  as  to  their  simplicity,  durability,  strength  and  the  general  satis¬ 
faction  they  have  given. 

The  details  of  construction  of  windmill  and  tower,  including  all  the 
parts  that  go  to  make  up  this  complete  machine,  are  fully  illustrated 
and  carefully  described  on  the  pages  of  this  catalogue. 

Read  the  catalogue  carefully  and  you  will  clearly  understand  the 
mechanical  construction  of  both  windmill  and  tower,  and  by  comparison 
with  the  description  of  any  other  windmill  and  tower,  you  will  readily 
see  wherein  the  Improved  Kenwood  is  the  equal  of  any,  and  in  many 
ways  the  superior  of  every  all  steel  pumping  windmill  and  tower 
made.

OUR  IMPROVED  KENWOOD  GAL¬ 
VANIZED  STEEL  12-FOOT  PUMP¬ 
ING  OR  IRRIGATION  WINDMILL 


On  preceding  page,  in  illustration  No.  36,  we  show  our  ex¬ 
tra  heavy  12-foot  Galvanized  Steel  Pumping  Windmill,  mounted 
on  a  40-foot  Galvanized  Steel  Regular  Pumping  Windmill  Tower, 
as  it  would  appear  when  arranged  to  pump  water  into  a  reser¬ 
voir  for  irrigation  purposes.  There  are  many  places  where  a  6- 
foot,  8-foot  or  10-foot  pumping  windmill  will  not  pump  a  suf¬ 
ficient  amount  of  water  to  supply  the  requirements.  To  meet 
this  proposition,  we  are  prepared  to  furnish  a  12-foot  pumping 
windmill,  an  extra  large  and  very  strong  machine ;  a  windmill 
which  will  pump  a  large  volume  of  water,  either  for  supply  pur¬ 
poses  or  for  irrigation  purposes.  This  windmill  is  particularly 
adapted  to  large  farms,  to  stock  ranches,  to  irrigation  plants  and 
to  village  water  supply.  It  is  an  exceedingly  powerful  machine  and 
though  but  one  and  one-half  times  as  large  in  diameter  as  an 
8-foot  windmill,  it  will  elevate  nearly  three  times  as  much  water. 
For  irrigation  purposes,  a  12-foot  Improved  Kenwood  Steel  Pump¬ 
ing  Windmill  is  better  adapted  than  any  other  size  of  windmill, 
because  of  its  great  strength  and  its  substantial  character  and 

because  it  will  pump  a  very  large  volume  of  water.  It  would 
be  a  difficult  matter  in  a  catalogue  of  this  character,  to 
give  any  practical  suggestions  as  to  the  manner  of  arranging  an 
irrigation  plant.  We,  however,  have  had  our  artist  show  in  the 

preceding  sketch  some  ideas  which  may  be  found  applicable  to 

your  own  particular  case. 

We  are  prepared  to  furnish  the  necessary  machinery  for  the 
installation  of  irrigation  plants ;  that  is  the  windmill,  the  tower, 
the  irrigation  cylinder  and  the  discharge  pipe  above  the  cylinder, 
which  pipe  may  be  wrought  iron  or  galvanized  steel,  as  the 

special  requirements  of  the  case  may  demand.  The  installation 
of  a  complete  irrigation  plant  is  of  itself  not  a  difficult  matter. 
Anyone  desiring  to  provide  such  a  plant,  must,  of  course,  be 

—  45  — 


46 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


governed  entirely  by  the  conditions  of  his  own  particular  case. 

First,  what  is  wanted,  is  an  abundant  supply  of  water.  Then  the 
windmill,  windmill  tower  and  the  pumping  apparatus.  The  making 
of  the  reservoir  and  the  canals  or  ditches  leading  from  the  res¬ 
ervoir  to  the  grounds  which  you  wish  to  irrigate  is  a  simple 
matter. 

While  we  show  in  the  illustration  a  12- foot  windmill,  it  is 
very  often  the  case  that  a  smaller  windmill  will  answer  all  re¬ 
quirements.  In  fact,  a  10-foot  pumping  windmill  is  frequently  used 
for  irrigation  purposes. 

You  can  select  the  cylinder  and  piping  for  an  irrigation  plant 

from  the  pump  supply  section  of  this  catalogue.  If  you  decide 
to  use  regular  iron  pipe,  use  the  size  specified  for  the  cylinder 
selected.  If  galvanized  steel  pipe  is  used,  we  recommend  that 
the  pipe  be  the  same  size  as  the  cylinder.  You  will  require  at 
least  two  feet  more  pipe  than  the  distance  from  the  top  of  the 
cylinder  to  the  point  of  discharge  (three  feet  would  be  better),  one 
tee  to  form  the  discharge  opening,  and  unless  a  wooden  trough 
will  answer,  you  will  also  need  a  sufficient  amount  of  pipe  to  convey 
the  water  from  the  upright  pipe  to  the  reservoir.  We  recom¬ 

mend  that  you  use  our  standard  wrought  iron  pipe  because  it  is 
more  rigid  than  steel  pipe,  and  at  the  end  will  really  prove  more 
serviceable  and  cost  less  money. 

On  other  pages  of  this  catalogue  we  give  a  full  detailed 

description  of  the  construction  of  the  Improved  Kenwood  Wind¬ 
mills  and  Towers  and  also  give  the  prices  of  the  windmills  and 
towers  alone  and  of  complete  windmill  outfits.

Dear  Sirs:  The  windmill  I  ordered  from  you  last  April  is  entirely  satisfactory 
and  exactly  as  represented  and  I  am  sure  that  I  saved  money  by  ordering  from  you. 
In  August  we  had  a  wind  storm  here  that  blew  most  of  the  windmills  to  pieces, 
but  mine  stood  the  storm  without  a  scratch.  I  am  well  pleased  with  the  windmill

IMPROVED  KENWOOD  GALVANIZED 
STEEL  SUBURBAN  PUMPING 
WINDMILL  OUTFITS 

FROM  $58.25  TO  $103.55 

The  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfit  which  is  shown  in  illus¬ 
tration  No.  37,  shows  clearly  the  appearance  of  all  Improved  Kenwood 
Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfits,  whether  they  be  with  6-foot, 
8-foot  or  10-foot  pumping  windmills,  or  with  40-foot,  50  foot  or 
60-foot  towers.  The  tank  shown  in  the  illustration,  as  will  be  seen 
is  placed  at  a  point  twenty  feet  from  the  top  of  the  tower  to  the 
bottom  of  the  tank.  This  is  the  position  at  which  all  1 1 -barrel  tanks 
are  placed  in  the  Improved  Kenwood  Towers.  Consequently,  in  a 
40-foot  tower,  it  elevates  the  tank  twenty  feet  from  the  ground  to 
the  bottom  of  the  tank.  In  a  50-foot  tower  it  elevates  the  tank 
thirty  feet  from  the  ground  to  the  bottom  of  the  tank.  In  a  60- 
foot  tower  it  elevates  the  tank  forty  feet  from  the  ground  to  the 
bottom  of  the  tank. 

At  our  prices  we  provide  you  with  a  complete  Suburban  Pump¬ 
ing  Windmill  Outfit  for  less  money  than  would  be  charged  you  by 
a  dealer  for  an  ordinary  windmill  and  tower  of  the  same  height. 

Remember  that  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Towers  are 
specially  designed ;  they  are  much  stronger  than  ordinary  towers. 
The  towers  are  heavier ;  they  are  specially  designed  for  the  purpose 
of  carrying,  in  addition  to  the  windmill  and  weight  of  tower,  the 
great  weight  of  the  tank  filled  with  water.  Therefore,  in  comparing 
our  prices  for  a  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfit  with  the  dealer’s 
price  for  a  regular  outfit,  bear  this  in  mind  and  then  you  will  realize 
what  a  bargain  we  offer  you.  For  general  purposes  we  advise  the 
purchase  of  an  outfit  of  the  dimensions  shown  in  the  illustration. 
This,  because  it  gives  you  a  windmill  of  large  capacity,  and  because 
it  elevates  your  water  supply  high  enough  to  give  great  force  in  the 
distribution  of  the  water. 

We  also  make  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfits  using  a  27- 
barrel  tapered  tower  tank  and  with  either  50-foot  or  60-foot  towers.  In 

—  48  — 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


49 


these  outfits  the  towers  are  much  heavier  than  the  towers  made  to  sup¬ 
port  the  1 1 -barrel  tanks.  In  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfits,  sup¬ 
plied  with  27-barrel  tanks,  the  bottom  of  the  tank  is  at  a  point  thirty 
feet  from  the  top  of  the  tower.  Therefore,  in  a  50-foot  tower  the  bot¬ 
tom  of  the  tank  would  be  elevated  twenty  feet  above  the  ground,  and 
in  a  60-foot  tower  the  bottom  of  the  tank  would  be  elevated  thirty  feet 
above  the  ground.  Of  course,  the  height  of  tower  which  you  will 
require  with  a  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfit  depends  upon  two 
points :  First,  how  high  you  must  have  the  tower  in  order  to 

elevate  the  windmill  so  that  it  will  obtain  the  full  force  of  the  wind, 
and  next,  how  high  you  must  have  the  tower  in  order  to  elevate 
your  tank  so  as  to  get  proper  force  in  the  distribution  of  the  water. 

With  a  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfit  using  a  27-barrel 
tank,  we  advise  the  purchase  of  a  60-foot  tower,  because  this 

elevates  the  tank  thirty  feet  above  the  ground  and  gives  a  splendid 
force  to  the  water.  We  do  not  make  this  outfit  with  less  than 
a  50-foot  tower. 

These  outfits  can  be  furnished  with  either  6-foot,  8-foot  or 
10-foot  pumping  windmills,  and  with  either  11 -barrel  or  27-bar¬ 
rel  galvanized  steel  tapered  tower  tanks. 

At  our  prices  we  practically  furnish  you  a  complete  city 
water  system.  That  is,  we  furnish  you  the  windmill  for  pumping 
the  water,  the  tank,  as  a  reservoir  for  holding  the  water,  and 

the  tower  for  carrying  the  windmill  and  supporting  the  reservoir 

at  such  height  as  will  give  your  water  force,  which,  by  means  of 
pipes,  you  can  convey  wherever  you  like.  Of  course,  the  pump 

and  piping  is  extra  and  must  be  selected  to  meet  the  special 
requirements  of  your  case.  With  such  an  outfit  you  can  pipe 
the  water  into  any  part  of  your  house,  barn  or  other  buildings,  and 
your  house  can  be  piped  for  a  water  supply  exactly  the  same  as 
in  any  city.  Again,  with  this  tank  reservoir,  you  can  pipe  water 

to  your  pasture,  your  barn,  or  to  almost  every  part  of  your  farm. 

At  a  nominal  expense  and  with  little  additional  cost  for  piping, 
you  practically  have  every  advantage  of  the  most  perfect  water 
system. 

AS  A  FIRE  PROTECTION 

As  a  fire  protection  our  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfit 

is  especially  recommended.  At  a  little  additional  expense  for  an 


50 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


extra  strength  tower  and  a  tank,  you  have  all  the  advantages  of 
the  ordinary  pumping  windmill,  and  you  always  have  this  reser¬ 
voir  of  water  of  from  eleven  to  twenty-seven  barrels,  according 
to  size  ordered,  which  is  not  only  a  great  convenience  in  con¬ 
veying  water  about  your  place,  but  it  is  always  a  big  protection 
against  fire.  Should  fire  occur  in  any  of  your  buildings,  if  you 
will  provide  yourself  with  sufficient  hose  to  connect  to  your  near¬ 
est  water  pipe,  you  can  easily  and  readily  reach  the  fire  and 
extinguish  it.  No  farmer  with  valuable  buildings  can  really  afford 
to  be  without  a  reservoir  of  water  as  a  iire  protection,  to  say 
nothing  of  the  great  convenience  and  great  labor  saving  advan¬ 
tages,  and  our  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfits  afford  the 
most  convenient  and  inexpensive  means  of  supplying  yourself  with 
this  ever  ready  supply  of  water. 

AN  IDEAL  SUBURBAN  OUTFIT 

To  people  residing  in  suburban  towns  outside  of  large  cities, 
and  outside  the  regular  city  water  supply,  and  to  people  residing 
in  inland  towns  and  villages  which  are  not  equipped  with  a  water 
supply,  we  especially  recommend  our  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill 
Outfits.  Many  of  these  people  have  been  accustomed  to  the  com¬ 
forts  of  a  city  water  system,  whereby  a  supply  of  water  is  sup¬ 
plied  by  the  city,  and  conveyed  by  piping  throughout  the  home 
and  extending  into  the  lawn  and  the  garden.  * 

Our  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfit  supplies  all  these  at 
a  very  nominal  expense.  At  a  cost  of  $58.25  for  our  smallest 
complete  outfit,  upwards,  according  to  size,  you  have  a  permanent 
water  supply,  you  have  every  advantage  given  you  by  a  city  water 
system.  If  you  are  building  a  home  in  a  suburban  town  outside 
of  the  city  water  limits,  if  you  are  building  a  home  in  a  town 
or  village  not  equipped  with  a  city  water  system,  or  if  you  al 
ready  own  a  home  in  one  of  these  places  and  are  not  provided 
with  the  comforts  of  a  perfect  water  system,  and  with  the  in¬ 
surance  against  fire  that  a  water  system  always  affords,  we  urge 
that  you  consider  one  of  our  complete  Suburban  Pumping  Wind¬ 
mill  Outfits. 

To  florists,  to  market  gardeners,  to  all  those  who  appreciate 
the  privilege  of  beautifying  the  lawn  and  landscape  by  an  abundant

supply  of  fresh  water  all  of  which  from  our  Suburban  Pumping 
Windmill  Outfit  is  easily  conveyed  by  means  of  pipe  and  hose, 
for  all  those,  these  outfits  are  especially  recommended. 

HEIGHT  OF  TOWER  TO  ORDER 

In  deciding  on  the  height  of  tower,  size  of  tank,  and  size 
of  windmill,  the  following  should  be  considered: 

Water  pressure  necessary  and  the  probable  amount  of  water 
you  will  require.  The  tank  platform  or  bottom  of  tank  is  twenty 
feet  below  the  top  of  the  tower  for  a  11 -barrel  tank,  and  thirty 
feet  below  the  top  of  the  tower  for  a  27 -barrel  tank. 

The  bottom  of  the  tank  should  be  higher  than  the  highest 
point  you  wish  to  convey  the  water,  either  in  your  house,  barn 
or  surroundings. 

For  Example:  First  consider  where  you  are  going  to  place 
the  tower,  then  consider  the  highest  point  to  which  you  wish  to 
convey  water.  If  you  wish  a  water  tank  in  the  top  of  the  barn 
or  attic  of  the  house,  or  on  a  raise  of  ground,  in  pasture,  yard 
or  elsewhere,  or  you  wish  to  convey  the  water  by  means  of  pipe, 
hose  or  otherwise  to  garden,  lawn  or  elsewhere,  bear  in  mind  that 
the  tower  should  be  sufficiently  high  so  that  the  bottom  of 
the  tank  will  be  as  high  or  higher  than  the  highest  point  to 

which  you  wish  to  convey  the  water.  A  tank  in  the  attic  of  the 
house  or  the  upper  floor  of  the  barn  should  be  no  higher  than 
to  the  bottom  of  the  tank  in  your  tower.  The  higher  the  reservoir 
and  tank  stands  above  the  point  to  which  you  wish  to  convey  the 
water,  the  greater  will  be  the  water  pressure,  and  in  no  case  can 
water  be  conveyed  from  this  tank  reservoir  to  a  point  higher 
than  the  bottom  of  the  tank. 

SIZE  OF  MILL 

The  tower,  of  course,  should  be  high  enough,  regardless  of 
height  of  tank  or  water  pressure,  to  bring  the  windmill  above  the 
top  of  any  buildings,  trees  or  other  surroundings,  to  give  it 

full  effect  of  the  wind,  and  on  the  amount  of  water  supply  and 

the  depth  of  water  required  will  depend  whether  you  should  have 

a  6-foot,  8-foot  or  10-foot  windmill.

WATER  SUPPLY  OUTFIT 

For  Pipe,  Hose,  Tanks,  Pumps,  etc.,  for  such  supplies  as  are 
necessary  for  the  conveying,  storing,  tanking  and  handling  of 
water  from  one  of  our  tank  outfits,  see  our  special  prices  on  these 
goods. 

The  full-page  illustration  No.  37  shows  our  8-foot  Improved 
Kenwood  Windmill,  50-foot  Suburban  Outfit  Tower  and  11 -barrel 
Tapered  Tank,  gives  you  an  idea  of  the  general  appearance  of 
the  outfit,  and  how  it  is  utilized  for  pumping,  storing  and  con¬ 
veying  of  water  supply. 

In  this  case  the  tank  is  erected  on  a  platform,  the  base  of 
which  is  20  feet  from  the  top  of  the  tower  and  30  feet  from  the 
ground.  With  the  reservoir  in  this  position,  the  water  can  be  con¬ 
veyed  by  pipe  or  hose  to  any  point  in  any  building  or  on  any  ground, 
provided  such  point  is  not  more  than  thirty  feet  higher  than  the 
ground  base  of  the  tower.  In  this  case,  the  windmill  is  shown  as 
being  used  for  pumping  water  into  the  tower  tank  and  also  into  a 
trough  at  the  base  of  the  tower.  Water  is  conveyed  by  a  pipe  across 
the  road,  as  indicated  by  dotted  line,  to  the  house.  In  the  attic  of 
the  house  is  a  house  tank  which  can  always  be  kept  full  of  water, 
and  from  this  tank,  the  house  being  piped  as  for  city,  water  is  sup¬ 
plied  with  ample  pressure,  the  same  as  any  city  supply.  Just  before 
you  reach  the  house,  as  indicated  by  a  dotted  line,  is  a  running 
fountain,  also  supplied  from  the  tank  reservoir.  Hose  connections 
can  be  placed  at  different  points,  and  by  attaching  hose  one  can  water 
the  lawn,  wash  the  windows  and  porches  and  have  an  ever-ready  fire 
extinguisher,  with  an  abundant  water  supply.  Follow  the  dotted  line 
to  the  left  and  you  follow  a  water  pipe  leading  to  the  barn.  In  the 
barn  is  a  large  storage  tank,  always  full  of  a  fresh  supply  of  water 
for  the  watering  of  stock.  From  the  barn  (by  a  pipe),  the  water  is 
carried  back  to  a  pasture  which  has  a  stock  tank,  from  which  tank 
the  stock  in  the  pasture  get  their  supply  of  fresh  water,  as  carried 
from  the  tank.  From  the  storage  tank  a  pipe  runs  to  the  vegetable 
garden  to  the  left  of  the  barn,  and  through  this  pipe  an  abundant 
supply  of  water  is  always  at  hand,  for  the  supplying  of  water  for  the 
vegetable  garden  in  dry  or  droughty  periods. 

The  luxury  of  one  of  our  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Outfits  can 
only  be  appreciated  by  those  who  have  used  them  and  others  who 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL.

have  had  the  advantages  of  a  perfect  city  water  system.  The  ad¬ 
vantage  that  we  claim  for  our  tank  outfit,  however,  is  that  the  cost  of 
water  is  not  10  per  cent  that  charged  by  cities  for  no  better  supply. 

The  picture  as  shown  in  illustration  No.  37,  will  give  you  a  fine 
idea  of  the  general  appearance  of  the  windmill,  tank  and  tower. 
The  windmill  being  a  regular  windmill,  by  following  the  smaller  and 
sectional  illustrations  and  descriptions  through  this  book,  you  get  a 
very  good  idea  of  the  construction  of  the  Improved  Kenwood  Gal¬ 
vanized  Steel  Windmills,  and  by  following  the  small  illustrations  and 
detailed  descriptions  you  also  get  a  good  idea  of  the  construction  of 
our  steel  towers,  the  highest  grade  towers  on  the  market. 

We  feel  in  directing  you  to  a  Suburban  Pumping  Windmill  Tower 
as  against  an  ordinary  steel  tower,  that  the  Suburban  Outfit  Tower  gives 
you  all  the  advantages  of  an  ordinary  tower,  and  with  a  tank  for 
water  reservoir  you  have  additional  advantages  to  well  repay  you  for 
the  comparatively  slight  difference  in  cost. 

Whether  on  a  farm,  in  a  suburban  town,  in  town  or  village  ; 
whether  a  gardener,  a  florist,  wherever  you  may  be  located,  if  you 
have  any  use  for  an  abundant  water  supply  ;  any  use  for  the  best 
pumping  outfit  constructed  ;  if  you  would  like  any  further  information 
before  ordering  ;  if  you  have  been  made  any  kind  of  a  proposition 
by  any  other  maker,  agent  or  dealer,  do  not  fail  to  write  us  before 
buying.  While  our  prices  are  our  lowest  possible  prices,  prices 
based  on  the  actual  cost  of  material  and  labor,  with  but  our  one 
small  percentage  of  profit  added,  and  about  one-half  the  price 
charged  by  dealers  generally,  while  our  prices  (quality  for  quality), 
are  much  lower  than  you  can  possibly  get  elsewhere,  such  prices 
as  were  never  before  offered  by  any  maker,  if  there  is  any  infor¬ 
mation  concerning  windmills,  towers,  tanks,  their  operation,  con¬ 
struction,  handling ;  if  there  is  anything  that  you  are  not  clear  on, 
write  us,  and  we  will  be  pleased  to  inform  you  whether  you  buy 
from  us  or  not.

SAVED  $25.00.  NO  FEAR  OF  HIGH  WINDS. 

Fillmore,  New  York. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:  It  is  fourteen  months  since  I  erected  my  galvanized  windmill.  Can 
say  it  is  all  you  represent  it  to  be.  It  has  proven  satisfactory  in  every  respect. 
Said  windmill  runs  in  as  light  a  wind  as  any  windmill  I  ever  saw.  In  high  wind  I 
have  no  fear  of  my  pump  being  broken,  as  the  windmill  is  well  regulated.  Consider 
I  saved  $25.00  on  windmill  and  tower,  as  it  is  a  windmill  of  superior  make  and  work 
to  windmills  commonly  erected  in  this  vicinity.  Thanking  you  for  past  favors, 
I  remain,  Yours  truly,  EYERETT  L.  REDMAN. 


PUMPS  IN  A  VERY  EIGHT  WIND. 

Prescott,  Arkansas. 

Messrs,  Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:  The  windmill  is  perfectly. satisfactory,  and  it  is  all  you  claim  it  to 
be.  I  think  I  saved  money  by  ordering  it  from  you.  It  raises  the  water  100  feet  and 
will  pump  in  a  very  light  wind,  which  is  of  great  importance  in  this  locality.  There 
is  only  one  other  windmill  in  this  locality  and  it  has  proved  to  be  a  complete  failure 
on  account  of  light  winds,  but  it  is  not  one  of  your  windmills.  Hoping  this  one  may 
be  the  cause  of  your  selling  many  in  this  locality,  I  remain, 

Yours  very  truly, 

A.  W.  NEWTH. 


W ELL  PLEASED. 

Belleville  N.  C. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:  The  windmill  which  I  bought  of  you  for  Governor  Russell’s  planta¬ 
tion  has  proved  very  satisfactory.  It  has  been  in  use  about  nine  months  now  and 
has  given  no  trouble.  We  are  much  gratified  with  its  quality  and  working  ability 
in  light  winds.  Respectfully, 


E,  W.  SAWYER. 


POWER  WINDMILL  OUTFITS 

That  much  of  the  vertical  shafting  which  is  included  with  the 
windmill,  extends  downward  five  feet  below  the  turntable.  When 
ordering  a  power  windmill,  first  decide  how  high  you  will  erect  it 
and  how  high  above  the  ground  you  want  the  horizontal  shaft  of 
the  foot  gear,  then  remember  that  aside  from  the  windmill  itself, 
you  will  require  an  amount  of  vertical  shafting  to  connect  the  wind¬ 
mill  with  the  foot  gear  equal  to  the  elevation  of  the  windmill  less 
the  sum  of  the  lengths  of  the  vertical  shaft  on  the  windmill  and 
foot  gear  (which  is  feet)  and  the  height  at  which  you  desire  to 
have  the  horizontal  shaft  of  the  foot  gear  above  the  ground  or  floor. 

You  will  also  require  a  foot  gear  at  the  bottom  of  the  vertical 
shafting  and  doubtless  some  line  shafting  and  pulleys.  If  the  wind¬ 
mill  is  to  be  erected  on  a  steel  tower,  it  will  also  be  necessary  that 
you  order  a  tower. 

HOW  IMPROVED  KENWOOD  STEEL  POWER 
WINDMILLS  CAN  BE  PLACED 

Our  Improved  Kenwood  Power  Windmills  can  be  placed  on  a 
steel  tower,  on  a  wood  tower,  or,  as  is  quite  common,  they  may  be 
placed  on  a  single  mast  above  the  barn. 

Power  windmills  can  be  used  for  running  corn  shellers,  feed 
grinders,  feed  cutters,  shredders,  wood  saws,  churns,  bone  mills,  and 
for  numerous  other  purposes  on  the  farm  where  from  one  to  three- 
horse  power  are  required,  and  power  windmills  are  frequently  used 
for  running  machinery  in  blacksmith  and  other  small  jobbbing  shops. 

IMPROVED  KENWOOD  POWER  WINDMILLS  CAN  BE  USED  FOR 
PUMPING  WATER  AS  WELL  AS  FOR  RUNNING  MACHINERY 

This  is  accomplished  by  using  a  windmill  pump  jack,  or  you 
can  use  our  Kenwood  pump  jack,  which  attaches  direct  to  the  pump 
standard.  You  can  also  use  quadrant  levers  in  connection  with 
our  windmill  pump  jack  so  as  to  connect  with  a  pump  at  a  con¬ 
siderable  distance  from  the  windmill. 

On  the  following  pages  we  show  illustrations  and  give  descrip 
tions  of  power  windmill  outfits  complete,  for  wood  masts  and  com¬ 
plete  with  steel  towers;  and  following  the  description  of  outfits  with 
steel  towers,  we  give  prices  for  complete  power  windmill  outfits.

IMPROVED  KENWOOD  GALVANIZED 
STEEL,  12-FOOT  POWER  WIND¬ 
MILL,  COMPLETE  OUTFITS, 

FOR  WOOD  MASTS 

FROM  $41.60  TO  $49.60 

For  $41.60  we  can  furnish  you  a  complete  Power  Windmill  Outfit,  • 
consisting  of  our  12-foot  Improved  Kenwood  Galvanized  Steel,  Power 
Windmill,  our  Windmill  Foot  Gear,  having  an  18x6-inch  pulley,  10 
feet  of  line  shafting  and  the  necessary  vertical  shafting,  with  couplings 
and  boxes,  all  ready  to  attach  to  a  20-foot  wood  mast,  up  to  $49.60  for 
same  style  of  outfit  to  attach  to  a  60-foot  wood  mast.  These  prices  are 
such  as  cannot  help  but  surprise  you.  They  are  less  than  half  the  price 
which  a  windmill  agent  would  charge  you  for  an  outfit  of  the  same 
description.  We  are  enabled  to  make  these  prices  only  by  having 
made  an  extensive  contract  under  the  most  favorable  conditions. 

In  illustration  No.  38  we  show  the  Improved  Kenwood  Power 
Windmill,  as  it  appears  when  mounted  on  a  wood  mast  over  the  barn, 
showing  the  manner  of  bracing  the  mast  with  our  steel  guy  rods  and  how 
various  machines  may  be  driven  by  the  power  developed  by  the  wind¬ 
mill.  You  will  note  that  the  line  shafting  is  arranged  in  this  case  so 
that  it  projects  outs  de  of  the  barn  for  the  purpose  of  driving  a  wood 
saw.  This  is  one  of  the  most  common  and  most  profitable  uses  to 
which  a  power  windmill  is  put.  It  would  be  useless  for  us  to  go  into 
any  special  detail  in  relation  to  the  different  machines  which  can  be 
operated  in  connection  with  one  of  these  windmills,  or  for  us  to  attempt 
to  tell  you  how  to  arrange  the  machines  in  your  own  barn.  All  kinds  of 
machines  can  be  run  by  the  power  developed  by  a  power  windmill,  as 
well  as  in  any  other  way,  and  in  each  particular  case  they  must  be 
arranged  to  suit  the  special  conditions  of  the  case. 

We  are  prepared  to  furnish  12-foot  Power  Windmill  Outfits  of  every 
description  and  every  outfit  which  we  advertise  will  be  furnished  at  prices 
in  line  with  those  just  mentioned.  We  have  arranged  the  various  outfits 
in  combination  and  priced  each  of  them  separately,  so  that  as  soon  as 
you  have  decided  what  size  of  windmill  you  want  and  to  what  height  you 
wish  to  erect  it,  you  can  immediately  tell  precisely  what  the  outfit  will 
cost  you,  and  it  will  not  be  necessary  for  you  to  go  to  the  trouble  of 
figuring  up  the  separate  items.  We  want  to  see  an  Improved  Kenwood 
Power  Windmill  Outfit  on  every  farm  in  the  country  which  is  not  now 
supplied  with  a  Power  Windmill  Outfit,  and  the  prices  which  we  make 
on  these  goods  are  so  extremely  favorable  that  no  farmer,  be  he  owner 
or  tenant,  can  afford  to  be  without  one  of  these  outfits

COMPLETE  OUTFITS,  WITH 
STEEL  TOWERS 

FROM  $62.30  TO  $105.30 

Illustration  No.  39  is  a  picture  of  the  Improved  Kenwood  Power 
Windmill,  as  it  appears  when  mounted  on  a  60-foot  Improved  Ken¬ 
wood  Tower,  This  picture  shows  plainly  the  general  appearance  of  the 
windmill,  and  also  shows  very  distinctly  the  construction  of  the  tower, 
showing  the  cross  girts,  the  cross  rods  running  across  the  tower 
from  corner  post  to  corner  post,  the  vertical  shafting,  the  manner  in 
which  bearings  are  provided  for  the  vertical  shafting,  the  foot  gear 
and  how  it  can  be  attached,  and  many  other  points  in  connection 
with  an  outfit  of  this  kind;  as  for  instance,  the  manner  of  operating 
a  pump  by  using  our  Windmill  Pump  Jack,  and  also  the  manner  of 
extending  line  shafting  from  the  foot  gear  into  a  barn  or  granary. 

Of  course  we  could  not  show  in  this  picture  many  of  the 
machines  which  can  be  driven  by  the  power  windmill,  but  it  will 
be  readily  understood  that  almost  any  machine  can  be  operated  by 
the  power  developed  by  the  Improved  Kenwood  Power  Windmill. 
To  show  the  wonderfully  low  prices  which  we  are  making  and  at 
which  we  can  furnish  complete  Power  Windmill  Outfits,  we  have 
made  up  and  listed  simple  Power  Windmill  Outfits,  consisting  of  the 
windmill,  the  tower,  the  vertical  shafting,  the  foot  gear  and  10 
feet  of  line  shafting.  Power  windmills  are  usually  erected  to  a 
height  of  forty  to  sixty  feet  above  the  ground  or  above  the  barn  floor, 
depending  upon  local  conditions,  such  as  height  of  buildings  or  height 
of  trees  in  the  immediate  neighborhood  of  the  windmill. 

Assume  that  you  wish  to  buy  a  Power  Windmill  Outfit,  and  that 
it  will  be  necessary  for  you  to  erect  it  forty  feet  high.  At  $81.30 
we  would  furnish  you  our  12-foot  Improved  Kenwood  Galvanized 
Steel  Power  Windmill,  together  with  a  40-foot  Improved  Kenwood 
Galvanized  Steel  Tower,  a  foot  gear,  having  18x6-inch  pulley,  10 
feet  of  line  shafting  and  the  necessary  vertical  shafting  all  complete;

a  price  much  lower  than  the  ordinary  windmill  agent  would  charge 
you  for  the  windmill  alone. 

The  prices  which  we  name  on  our  Power  Windmill  Outfits, 
are  offered  on  the  basis  of  the  actual  cost  of  material  and  labor, 
with  but  our  one  small  percentage  of  profit  added;  offered  under  our 
binding  guarantee  for  one  year,  as  the  equal  of  any  Power  Windmill 
Outfit  made,  regardless  of  price. 

You  take  no  risk  in  ordering  a  Power  Windmill  Outfit  from  us 
on  our  extremely  liberal  30  days’  trial  terms,  as  explained  in  this 
catalogue.  You  have  the  privilege  of  seeing,  examining  and  com¬ 
paring  the  windmill  and  the  balance  of  the  outfit,  with  any  other 
outfit  which  you  may  be  able  to  see  and  examine.  You  are  allowed 
the  privilege  of  thoroughly  examining  the  windmill  in  every  piece  and 
part  and  then  you  also  have  the  privilege  of  giving  the  windmill  a 
30  days’  trial.  If  you  find  that  we  have  misrepresented  it  in  any 
way,  or  if  for  any  reason  you  are  dissatisfied  with  it,  send  the  windmill 
back  to  us  at  our  expense  and  we  will  immediately  return  your  money, 
if  any  has  been  sent. 

You  cannot  afford  to  be  without  a  Power  Windmill  Outfit. 
There  is  much  profitable  work  which  you  could  do  with  an  outfit 
of  this  kind,  and,  as  the  work  would  most  of  it  be  in  the  barn  and 
under  cover,  it  furnishes  you  employment  for  stormy  days  when  you 
could  not  work  outside;  enables  you  to  cut  your  feed  and  grind  your 
grain,  placing  the  product  in  the  best  condition  for  feeding  purposes  and 
really  without  cost  to  you,  because,  after  your  windmill  is  once  erected, 
it  costs  you  nothing  for  fuel  and  the  wear  and  tear  is  so  little,  when  the 
windmill  is  properly  cared  for,  that  it  cannot  be  counted  for  anything. 

In  purchasing  a  Power  Windmill  Outfit,  we  advise  that  you 
make  use  of  a  steel  tov/er,  because  the  Improved  Kenwood  Galvanized 
Steel  Towers  cost  but  very  little,  if  anything,  more  than  wood  towers; 
are  much  handsomer  in  appearance  and  very  much  more  durable. 
In  fact,  an  outfit  including  a  steel  tower,  will  in  the  end  cost  you 
but  little  if  any  more  than  an  outfit  which  you  would  erect  on  a 
wood  mast,  because,  when  you  count  the  cost  of  the  wood  mast,  all 
the  labor  which  you  must  go  to  in  securing  the  mast  to  your  barn, 
and  such  other  expenses  as  may  be  incurred,  you  will  find  that  to 
erect  a  windmill  on  a  steel  tower  is,  after  all,  the  most  economical 
way  in  which  you  can  put  up  an  outfit  of  this  character.

PRICES  FOR  COMPLETE  12-FOOT  POWER 
WINDMILL  OUTFITS 

A  complete  Power  Windmill  Outfit  consists  of  a  12-foot  gal¬ 
vanized  steel  power  windmill  complete,  vertical  shafting  twelve  feet 
less  in  length  than  the  height  of  mast  or  tower  on  which  the  mill 
is  to  be  erected,  one  foot  gear  with  18x6-inch  pulley,  and  ten  feet  of 
line  shafting.  This  constitutes  an  outfit  to  go  on  a  wood  mast  or 
wood  tower.  If  the  windmill  is  ordered  with  a  steel  tower,  the  outfit 
is  the  same  as  above,  with  the  addition  of  one  regular  galvanized 
steel  four-post  tower.  The  amount  of  vertical  shafting  furnished  will 
place  the  horizontal  shaft  of  the  foot  gear  5^-  feet  above  the  bottom 
of  the  mast  or  tower.  If  the  windmill  is  to  be  erected  on  a  wood 
mast,  you  can  purchase  from  us  a  set  of  steel  guy  rods,  which  your 
blacksmith  can  lengthen  or  shorten.  If  they  are  not  found  to  be  of 
the  proper  length,  or,  in  lieu  of  the  guy  rods,  you  can  brace  the 
mast  with  timbers. 

When  ordering  a  Power  Windmill  Outfit,  order  by  the  catalogue 
number  to  the  left  of  the  height  of  tower  or  mast,  and  allow  the 
price  shown  to  the  right  of  the  height  of  tower  or  mast  in  the  column 
which  indicates  whether  the  windmill  is  to  go  on  a  wood  mast  or 
wood  tower,  or  whether  the  outfit  is  to  be  furnishsd  with  a  steel 
tower,  and  if  for  mast  give  size  of  mast.  Shipped  knocked  down 
from  factory  in  Southwestern  Michigan.

SATISFIED  HE  SAVED  FROM  $15.00  TO  $20.00. 

Clarington,  Ohio. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Go.,  Chicago,  111. 

Dear  Sirs:  The  windmill  and  grinder  bought  of  you  some  time  ago  has  proven 
itself  to  be  all  right  in  every  respect  and  is  doing  splendid  work.  The  price  you  ask 
for  them  is  very  reasonable.  I  am  satisfied  I  saved  at  least  $15.00  or  $20.00  on  the 
outfit.  Yours  respectfully, 

GHAS.  E.  BKENZIKOFER.

Dear  Sirs:  I  received  the  windmill  about  one  year  ago  from  you  all  right,  and 
put  it  up  right  away,  it  has  givrrn  entire  satisfaction,  and  I  saved  about  $10.00  by 
buying  from  you  instead  of  buying  at  home,  I  can  recommend  it  to  others,  and  the

RUNS  EVERYTHING  ON  THE  FARM. 

Gridley,  Ill. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— The  12-foot  geared  windmill  which  I  bought  of  you  last  spring,  is 
all  right  in  every  way.  It  has  great  power  in  a  fair  wind.  I  run  the  pump,  butter 
churn,  corn  grinder,  cider  mill,  grindstone,  one-hole  corn  sheller,  emery  wheel,  and 
a  circular  saw.  I  can  run  all  these  machines  with  that  12-foot  wheel.  In  a  good 
wind  I  can  run  half  of  these  machines  at  one  time.  With  my. 12-foot  wheel  I  mostly 
have  too  much  power  than  not  enough.  I  am  well  pleased  with  the  windmill  and  it 
is  a  great  piece  of  machinery.  I  can  pump  water  with  as  little  wind  as  anybody 
that  has  a  pumping  windmill.  C.  C.  KRIEGHISER. 


POWER  WINDMILL  OUTFIT  GIVING  THE  BEST  OF  SATISFACTION. 

Low  Moor,  Iowa. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— I  wish  to  say  that  the  12-foot  power  windmill  I  bought  of  you 
was  received  in  good  order,  has  been  erected  and  running  three  months  and  must 
say  is  giving  the  best  of  satisfaction.  I  am  well  pleased  with  it  in  every  way.  I 
saved  from  $8.00  to  $20.00  on  it  as  I  priced  windmills  of  other  firms  before  buying  of 
you.  Hoping  this  will  prove  satisfactory,  I  am,  Yours  truly,

stroke  is  being  made  by  the  windmill.  When  used  in  connection 
with  power  windmills,  the  wires  may  connect  the  levers  without 
being  crossed.  The  two  levers  are  alike  in  form,  and  each  is  fur¬ 
nished  with  a  pivot  plate,  the  bolt  which  fastens  them  to  the  tim¬ 
ber  work,  and  eye  bolts  for  the  purpose  of  putting  proper  tension 
upon  the  connecting  wires. 

By  means  of  these  Quadrant  Levers  an  ingenious  person  can 
make  connections  with  the  pump  within  any  reasonable  distance, 
and  in  almost  any  location,  whether  the  pump  is  to  be  operated 


WINDMILL  QUADRANT  LEVERS 

We  can  furnish  you  a  pair  of  Windmill  Quadrant  Levers,  as 
shown  in  illustration  No.  42,  which  can  be  used  in  connection  with 
pumping  windmills  to  operate  a  pump  which  may  be  at  a  con¬ 
siderable  distance  from  the  windmill,  or  which  may  be  u.:ed  in 
connection  with  windmill  pump  jacks  where  pumps  are  operated 
by  power  windmills. 

When  used  in  connection  with  pumping  windmills  the  two 
wires  which  connect  the  two  Quadrant  Levers  must  be  crossed, 
so  as  to  give  an  up  stroke  on  the  pump  at  the  same  time  that  the  up

able  to  make  use  of  a  windmill  where  it  could  not  otherwise  be 
used,  and  making  it  possible  to  set  a  power  windmill  in  a  much 
more  desirable  location  in  relation  to  machines  to  be  operated  by  it. 
To  connect  the  levers  it  requires  ten  feet  more  wire  than  twice 
the  distance  between  the  levers.  Connecting  wire  is  No.  9  gal¬

WINDMILL  ROCKER  ARMS 

In  illustration  No.  43,  we  show  a  pair  of  Rocker  Arms  and  illus¬ 
trate  the  manner  in  which  these  arms  are  connected  to  the  rocker  pipe. 

Frequently  it  is  impossible  to 
set  the  windmill  and  tower  directly 
over  the  well  and  in  such  cases, 
when  the  center  of  the  well  is 
within  sixteen  feet  of  the  center  of 
the  tower,  the  pump  pole  of  the 
windmill  may  be  connected  to  the 
pump  rod  of  the  pump  by  means 
of  rocker  arms  and  pipe,  giving 
even  better  results  than  quadrant 
levers.  We  recommend  the  use  of 
Rocker  Arms  under  these  conditions. 

One  of  these  Rocker  Arms  con¬

the  other  to  pole  leading  to  pump,  and  both  are  to  be  securely  fastened

OUR  $2.98  PUMPING  WINDMILL  FEED 
GRINDER 


Our  $2  98  Pumping  Windmill  Feed  Grinder,  shown  in  illustra¬ 
tion  No.  44.  is  for  use  in  connection  with  all  kinds  of  pumping 'wind¬ 
mills,  no  matter  what  size  or  make.  Will  grind  any  kind  of  grain, 
either  separate  or  mixed.  Grinder  consists  of  a  double  metal  case 
and  three  burrs,  two  remaining  sta¬ 
tionary  while  the  third  revolves 
in  the  center,  producing  a  double 
grinding  surface  and  consequently 
feeding  double  capacity.  Can  be 
adjusted  so  as  to  grind  either  coarse 
or  fine,  by  simply  turning  one  nut. 

Capacity  is  from  1  to  4  bushels  per 
day,  depending  upon  the  velocity  of 
the  wind  and  the  size  of  the  wind¬ 
mill.  The  center  burr  is  operated 
with  the  lever  which  projects  from 
the  bottom  of  the  grinder  and  is 
moved  in  opposite  directions  by  the 
wood  rod  which  connects  the  grinder 
to  the  elbow  which  connects  with 
the  pump  pole  of  the  windmill.  Our 
price  is  about  one-half  the  price  others  ask  for  this  style  of  grinder, 
while  the  grinder  is  equal  to  any  which  you  can  buy  elsewhere.  If 
you  have  a  pumping  windmill  or  intend  to  buy  one  and  have  no  power 
windmill,  you  certainly  ought  to  purchase  one  of  these  little  grinders. 

Price  is  for  the  grinder  as  shown  in  the  illustration,  complete 
with  the  iron  elbow  to  connect  with  the  windmill  pump  rod,  but  does 
not  include  the  wood  connecting  pole.  Weight,  80  pounds.  Shipped

BOUGHT  TWO  WINDMILLS,  SAVED  $25.00  ON  EACH. 

London,  Ohio. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— Last  A  pril  I  received  from  your  house  two  windmills,  towers  and 
pumps,  all  complete.  Everything  was  in  good  shape  and  went  together  without  a 
hitch.  They  have  both  been  doing  good  work  ever  since.  They  are  good,  well  made, 
strong  and  neat  windmills,  and  are  first  class  in  every  particular  and  cost  about 
$25.00  less  per  mill  than  they  would  have  cost  here,  so  that  1  saved  about  $50.00  in  the 
deal  with  you.  I  recommend  Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.  to  my  neighbors,  and  have  sent 
some  trade  to  you.  Last  August  I  visited  your  house  in  Chicago  and  examined 
some  of  your  goods,  and  I  know  you  sell  many  things  from  20%  to  50%  cheaper  than 
retailers  sell  here.  Truly  yours,  W.  H.  JONES.

SOMETHING  ABOUT  THE  MANNER 
OF  ERECTING  WINDMILL  OUTFITS 

In  illustration  No.  46  we  show  you  how  a  windmill  and  tower 
should  be  put  together,  in  what  position  it  should  be  in  relation  to  the 
anchor  post  holes,  and,  in  fact,  give  you  all  the  information  which 
you  will  need,  except  such  as  will  be  obtained  from  our  regular 
direction  sheets.  It  is  not  a  difficult  matter  to  put  up  a  steel  wind¬ 
mill  outfit.  In  fact,  anyone  who  goes  at  the  work  intelligently  and 
follows  the  directions  which  we  furnish  can  put  up  the  outfit  without 
any  trouble.  All  it  requires  is  that  you  follow  our  instructions  and 
that  you  use  a  little  caution  and  good  judgment.  With  every  wind¬ 
mill  and  tower  which  we  send  out,  we  enclose  in  the  box  of  fittings 
a  direction  sheet,  which  gives  full  instructions  in  relation  to  putting 
together  and  erecting  the  Improved  Kenwood  Steel  Windmills  and 
Angle  Steel  Towers;  also  instructions  for  erecting  power  windmills 
on  wood  masts. 

The  illustration  shows  the  pump  platform,  it  however  is  not  the 
usual  practice  to  lay  the  platform  until  after  the  tower  is  erected, 
because  the  anchor  posts  can  not  be  set  exact  until  the  tower  is  up, 
therefore  the  post  holes  should  be  open  to  allow  for  moving  and  ad¬ 
justing  the  posts  to  fit  the  tower. 

TO  RAISE  A  WINDMILL  AND  TOWER 

There  are  many  ways  of  raising  a  windmill  and  tower,  and  while 
our  towers,  being  built  in  10-foot  sections,  can  be  put  together  from 
the  ground  up  and  the  windmill  put  in  place  after  the  tower  is  com¬ 
pleted,  the  usual  practice  is  to  put  the  windmill  and  tower  together 
as  shown  in  the  illustration  and  raise  it  with  ropes  and  pulley  blocks. 
These  ropes  and  blocks  are  usually  at  hand  on  nearly  every  farm  or 
in  the  immediate  neighborhood. 

The  ropes  needed  are  as  follows:  A  main  rope  strong  enough 
to  support  the  tower  and  at  least  1^  times  the  length  of  the  tower;  a 
pair  of  pulley  blocks  with  beckets,  and  a  tackle  rope  of  proper  strength. 
For  small  and  light  towers  the  pulley  blocks  may  be  with  two  sheaves 
in  each  block,  but  for  large  and  heavy  towers  they  should  have 
three  sheaves  in  each  block.  When  the  blocks  have  two  sheaves, 

-70— 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


71 


the  tackle  rope  should  be  about  3f  times  the  length  of  the  tower; 
when  they  have  three  sheaves  the  tackle  rope  should  be  about  5  times 
the  length  of  the  tower.  It  is  also  necessary  to  have  two  strong  guy 
ropes  each  about  twice  the  length  of  the  tower,  and  short  ropes  to 
fasten  pulley  block  to  pulling  post,  main  rope  to  shear  poles  and  for 
fastening  shear  poles  together. 

A  shear  pole  or  gin  pole  at  least  one-half  the  length  of  the  tower 
is  also  necessary.  This  shear  pole  is  made  of  two  poles  or  timbers 
of  sufficient  strength  to  support  the  tower,  the  two  being  bolted  or 
tied  together  near  the  top  and  spread  apart  at  the  lower  ends  so  as 
to  form  a  shear. 

Place  under  the  lower  end  of  bottom  corner  posts  a  plank  long 
enough  to  reach  under  both  posts  and  strong  enough  to  support  the 
tower  when  it  is  raised.  Be  sure  that  this  plank  is  level  and  firmly 
placed. 

Back  of  this  plank  toward  the  anchor  posts,  stand  edgewise  a 
heavy  plank  to  prevent  the  tower  from  slipping  off  the  flat  plank. 
Drive  stakes  on  both  sides  so  as  to  hold  both  planks  in  position. 
Near  the  other  two  corner  posts  place  level  with  the  first  plank,  two 
short  strong  planks  to  support  the  other  two  corner  posts  when  tower 
is  raised. 

To  prevent  bottom  corner  posts  and  the  side  lower  girts  from 
buckling  it  is  best  to  lash  a  timber  to  each  of  the  bottom  corner  posts, 
next  to  the  ground  and  to  the  inside  corner  of  each  side  lower  girt, 
the  latter  extending  from  corner  post  to  corner  post.  These  timbers 
for  the  smaller  towers  may  be  2  inches  by  4  inches,  but  for  the  large 
and  heavy  towers  they  should  be  at  least  2  inches  by  6  inches. 

Tie  the  main  rope  around  the  tower  at  the  upper  set  of  cross 
girts  and  fasten  the  rope  so  that  it  cannot  slip.  Lay  the  main  rope 
along  the  center  of  the  tower  on  the  upper  side. 

Lean  the  shear  pole  against  the  bottom  girt  which  is  on  the 
upper  side  of  the  tower;  pass  the  main  rope  over  the  top  of  the  cross 
in  the  shear  pole  and  tie  it  securely  with  a  short  rope.  Tie  the  end 
of  the  main  rope  to  one  of  the  pulley  blocks.  Raise  the  shear  pole 
until  the  lower  ends  are  about  opposite  the  center  of  the  place  where 
the  tower  is  to  stand,  one  leg  on  each  side. 

Pull  out  the  tackle  rope  until  the  distance  from  center  to  center 
of  pulley  blocks  is  at  least  10  feet  more  than  one-half  the  length  of 


72 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


the  tower.  Now  plant  a  strong  post  directly  in  line  with  the  center 
of  the  tower  and  far  enough  from  the  tower  so  that  the  tackle  rope 
can  be  pulled  out  straight.  Secure  the  pulley  block  to  this  post  with 
a  strong  rope. 

Tie  the  guy  ropes  to  the  upper  ends  of  the  corner  posts  which 
are  next  the  ground.  At  each  side  of  the  tower  about  two-thirds 
ot  its  length  from  the  bottom  and  about  one-half  its  length  each 
way  from  the  tower,  plant  strong  posts  around  which  to  take  a 
hitch  with  the  guy  ropes  so  that  the  tower  may  be  held  steady  while 
being  raised  and  kept  from  going  too  far  over  when  it  has  reached 
an  upright  position.  One  man  will  be  required  at  each  of  these 
guy  ropes,  but  in  case  of  very  high  or  very  heavy  towers  there 
should  be  two  men  at  each  rope.  Tower  may  be  raised  with  a  wind¬ 
lass  or  horses  may  be  employed.  If  a  windlass  is  used  it  should 
be  firmly  staked  down ;  in  fact,  everything  should  be  strong  and 
firm  when  a  tower  is  being  raised  ,  thus  preventing  the  possibility 
of  an  accident. 

Now  raise  the  tower,  bolt  it  to  the  anchor  posts  and  shift 
it  into  position.  It  can  be  shifted  easily  by  levers  placed  under 
the  lower  girts  close  up  to  the  corner  posts.  With  power  mills 
be  sure  that  the  side  of  the  tower  is  square  with  the  direction 
in  which  you  wish  to  run  the  line  shafting.  With  pumping  mills 
care  should  be  taken  that  the  pump  rod  of  the  mill  is  directly 
over  the  pump  rod  of  the  pump.  Remember  that  the  tower 
must  stand  plumb  and  the  anchor  posts  must  be  firmly  bedded. 
Fill  the  anchor  post  holes  with  stone  or  boulders  and  dirt,  ramming 
it  hard  as  the  filling  is  being  done. 

ABOUT  THE  CARE  OF  WINDMILLS 

Do  not  allow  yourself  to  be  misled  by  statements  that  windmills 
of  any  particular  make  will  run  and  give  good  service  without  oil 
or  attention.  Our  windmills  require  but  little  attention,  but  that  at¬ 
tention  they  should  have,  as  should  any  other  windmill  or  machine 
of  any  kind,  if  long  and  satisfactory  service  is  expected. 

Remember,  that  any  machinery,  no  matter  for  what  purpose 
used,  nor  how  well  made,  will  wear  out  quickly  or  is  liable  to  be 
broken  if  it  does  not  receive  proper  care  and  attention  and  bearings 
are  allowed  to  run  dry,  or  if  bolts  are  allowed  to  become  loose,  the 


SEARS,  ROEBUCK  &  CO.,  CHICAGO,  ILL. 


73 


wearing  parts  are  very  liable  to  give  out  quickly  or  some  part  of 
the  machine  is  very  liable  to  be  broken. 

The  boxes  in  which  shafting  revolves  or  runs,  should  be  oiled 
with  a  good  grade  of  running  oil,  such  for  instance  as  would  be 
used  on  the  bearings  of  a  mower  or  reaper.  Friction  surfaces,  such 
as  the  pivot  post  where  the  pitman  head  travels  and  the  teeth 
of  the  gear  wheels  should  always  be  kept  well  greased  with  a  heavy 
grease  such  as  is  used  on  farm  wagons. 

All  nuts  and  bolts  should  be  examined  occasionally  and 
if  they  are  found  loose  they  should  be  tightened  and  this  examina¬ 
tion  should  be  made  first  of  all,  within  two  or  three  weeks  after  the 

4 

windmill  outfit  has  been  erected,  because  nuts  become  loose  much 
more  easily  at  first  than  they  do  after  they  have  become  fixed  in 
place. 

Most  all  breakage  and  all  extraordinary  wear  results  from  neg¬ 
lect  and  unless  proper  attention  is  given  to  this  advice,  the  pur¬ 
chaser  certainly  cannot  expect  to  obtain  long  life  and  satisfactory 
service  from  a  windmill  or  any  other  machine.  With  proper  care 
our  Improved  Kenwood  Windmill  and  Tower  will  last  a  life  time. 


EASY  TO  PUT  UP. 

Eldorado,  Iowa. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sir:— The  windmill  arrived  in  good  condition— not  a  part  was  missing.  I 
put  it  together  myself— had  no  experience  in  that  line.  The  windmill  has  run  to 
perfection  to  this  day.  By  sending  to  you  for  it  I  think  I  have  saved  about  $10.00. 

Yours  truly,  C.  G.  TJENSVOLD. 


SAVED  $10.00. 

Stetson,  Maine. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:  The  windmill  arrived  November  1st.  I  am  very  well  pleased  with 
it.  I  saved  $10.00  by  sending  to  your  house.  Yours  truly,  W.  P.  CLARK. 


CAN’T  BE  BEAT. 

Osceola,  Neb. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  can  truthfully  say  that  I  am  the  proud  possessor  of  as  fine  a  steel 
windmill  as  can  be  found  anywhere.  It  arrived  in  fine  shape,  was  put  up  for  use  the 
first  week  in  March  and  have  had  ample  time  to  test  its  merits  and  am  perfectly 
pleased.  The  smooth,  easy  running  gear  runs  with  so  little  wind  it  is  really  a  sur¬ 
prise,  and  to  sum  it  up,  all  in  all,  “it  can’t  be  beat.”  As  to  the  price,  well,  I  made  a 
clear  profit  of  at  least  $12.00  after  including  freight  and  extra  expenditure  of  getting 
it  raised.  At  different  times  I  have  ordered  articles  from  your  firm  and  the  prompt¬ 
ness  and  fairness  with  which  you  have  treated  me  and  the  quality  of  articles  as 
represented  has  won  from  me,  as  well  as  many  thousand  others,  the  esteem  and 
regard  with  which  your  firm  is  held.  Wishing  you  success  in  the  future  as  in  the 
past,  I  remain,  Respectfully,  F.  A.  ALINDER. 


USEFUL  INFORMATION  PERTAINING 
TO  WINDMILLS 

It  has  been  found  by  experience  that  it  requires,  on  an  average,  a 
wind  of  a  velocity  of  four  to  five  miles  per  hour  to  drive  a  steel  wind¬ 
mill,  and  that  the  windmill  will  run,  on  an  average,  eight  hours  per  day. 
The  average  velocity  of  wind  in  the  United  States  is  sixteen  miles  per 
hour  for  eight  hours  per  day. 

From  this  it  is  quite  evident  that  a  windmill  is  a  profitable  invest¬ 
ment,  because  when  a  good  windmill  is  properly  erected  it  becomes  a 
faithful  and  reliable  servant,  upon  which  you  can  depend  for  an  average 
of  eight  hours  of  steady  work  for  every  day  in  the  year,  requiring  no 
feed,  no  fuel,  and  but  very  little  oil  and  attention.

To  ascertain  the  capacity  of  a  pump  with  any  diameter  of  cylinder 
given  in  above  table,  multiply  the  gallons  per  stroke,  as  given  in  the 
table,  by  the  length  of  pump  stroke,  and  the  result  thus  obtained  by  the 
number  of  pump  strokes  per  minute;  this  result  multiplied  by  sixty  will 
give  the  capacity  in  gallons  per  hour. 

The  capacity  of  single  and  double  acting  pumps  is  precisely  the 
same,  the  difference  being  that  the  single  acting  pump  discharges  all  the 
water  on  the  up  stroke  of  the  pump  rod,  while  the  double  acting  pump 
discharges  half  on  the  up  stroke  and  half  on  the  down  stroke  of  the 
pump  rod.

SUMMARY  OF  PRICES  ON  WINDMILLS, 
TOWERS  AND  WINDMILL 
ATTACHMENTS 


Prices  for  Improved  Kenwood  Galvanized  Steel  Windmills 

Pumping  windmills  are  complete  with  wind  wheel,  assembled 
motor,  vane,  pump  pole  swivel,  pump  connection,  step  box,  adjustable 
pull-out  lever  and  sufficient  wood  pump  pole  and  galvanized  steel 
pull-out  wire  for  a  tower  40  feet  in  height.  In  other  words,  the 
pumping  windmill  complete  but  without  a  tower. 

When  a  pumping  windmill  is  ordered  without  a  steel  tower,  it 
is  regularly  furnished  with  a  flat  cap  to  set  on  top  of  the  posts  of  a 
wood  tower,  but,  instead  of  the  wood  tower  cap,  if  so  ordered,  we 
will  furnish  a  cap  for  a  four-post  steel  tower,  or  a  cap  for  a  three- 
post  steel  tower  or  a  set  of  mast  castings. 

Power  windmills  are  complete  with  wind  wheel,  assembled  mo¬ 
tor,  vane,  vertical  shafting  extending  five  feet  below  the  turn  table, 
step  box,  adjustable  pull-out  lever  and  sufficient  galvanized  wire  pull-out 
cable  for  a  40-foot  tower.  In  other  words  the  power  windmill  com¬ 
plete,  but  without  a  tower. 

A  foot  gear  and  a  certain  amount  of  vertical  shafting  (depend¬ 
ing  upon  the  height  of  tower  or  .mast),  are  always  necessary  items 
which  must  be  ordered  with  a  power  windmill,  and  nearly  always  you 
will  require  ten  feet  or  more  of  line  shafting.  These  items  are  not  in¬ 
cluded  in  the  price  of  the  windmill,  but  must  be  ordered  separately. 

When  a  power  windmill  is  ordered  without  a  tower,  it  is  regularly 
furnished  with  fittings  for  a  wood  mast,  but  instead  of  the  fittings  for 
a  wood  mast,  if  so  ordered,  we  will  furnish  a  flat  cap  to  set  on  top  of 
the  posts  of  a  wood  tower,  or  a  cap  for  a  four-post  steel  tower  or 
a  cap  for  a  three-post  steel  tower. 

When  ordering  a  windmill  to  go  on  a  wood  mast,  always  give 
size  of  mast,  and  when  ordering  a  windmill  without  a  steel  tower,  be 
sure  to  state  the  height  of  tower  or  mast  on  which  you  will  erect 
the  windmill.  Shipped  knocked  down  from  factory  in  Southwestern 
Michigan .

Prices  for  Improved  Kenwood  Galvanized  Angle  Steel 
Four- Post  Towers 

Please  note  that  different  sizes  of  windmills  require  different 
strength  of  towers,  and  that  we  list  below  towers  of  different 
weights  and  strength  for  different  sizes  of  windmills.  When  ordering 
a  tower,  order  by  the  catalogue  number  to  the  left  of  the  height 
of  tower  and  allow  the  prices  shown  to  the  right  of  the  height  of 
tower  in  the  column  which  indicates  the  size  and  kind  of  windmill 
with  which  the  tower  is  to  be  used.  We  will  not  ship  out  a  wind¬ 
mill  and  tower  unless  the  tower  ordered  is  the  tower  specified  by 
us  for  use  with  the  size  of  "  windmill  selected,  or  is  heavier  than  the 
tower  specified  by  us. 

Regular  towers  are  made  to  support  the  windmill  only  and  will 
not  support  a  tank  in  the  tower. 

Suburban  Outfit  Towers  are  made  to  support  a  tank  in  the  tower 
and  also  to  support  a  windmill  at  the  top  of  the  tower.  These 
towers  are  made  of  very  much  heavier  angle  steel  than  is  used  in 
regular  towers  up  to  the  point  where  the  bottom  of  the  tank  is  sup¬ 
ported.  Above  this  point  the  corner  posts  are  the  same  as  cor¬ 
responding  sections  of  the  regular  towers.  The  bottom  of  the  tank 
is  supported  by  heavy  steel  bars  which  take  the  place  of  that  par¬ 
ticular  set  of  cross  girts,  and  which  are  firmly  secured  to  the  cor¬ 
ner  posts  by  very  heavy  bolts  and  on  which  you  lay  timbers  for  the 
tank  to  rest  on.  Otherwise  the  construction  of  Suburban  Outfit  Towers 
is  the  same  as  the  construction  of  regular  towers. 

Suburban  Outfit  Towers  for  supporting  an  11 -barrel  tank  are 
made  to  support  the  tank  at  twenty  feet  from  the  top  of  the  tower 
to  the  bottom  of  the  tank.  Those  for  supporting  a  27-barrel  tank 
are  made  to  support  the  tank  at  thirty  feet  from  the  top  of  the 
tower  to  the  bottom  of  the  tank.

The  prices  on  towers  are  for  the  towers  complete,  including  a 
wood  platform,  four  anchor  posts  and  four  heavy  cast  iron  anchor 
plates,  in  other  words,  the  tower  complete,  but  without  a  windmill.

PUMPS  FROM  TWO  WELLS. 

Academy,  S.  Dak. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:  The  steel  windmill  we  bought  of  you  is  perfectly  satisfactory 
in  every  way.  It  pumps  two  wells  at  the  same  time;  one  well  is  about  40  feet  from 
the  mill.  It  forces  the  water  through  pipes  under  ground  to  tank  in  side  hill  above 
the  wells.  It  regulates  itself  perfectly  in  strong  wind :  no  one  could  find  fault  with 
it,  and  it  costs  much  less  than  one  of  the  same  size  would  cost  here. 

Yours  truly,  W.  H.  HEATON.

ACME  WOOD  WHEEL  DIRECT  STROKE 
WINDMILL 

Many  of  our  customers  prefer  a  direct  stroke  windmill,  and 
while  we  always  advise  the  selection  of  a  back-geared  galvanized 
steel  windmill,  we  have  in  the  Acme  Wood  Wheel  Windmill,  a  high 
grade  direct  stroke  windmill,  which  meets  the  demands  of  this  class 

of  trade  perfectly.  It  is  a  direct 
stroke  windmill  of  great  strength 
and  durability,  and  one  which 
will  regulate  and  govern  itself 
perfectly  in  any  wind.  Has  pos¬ 
itive  break,  which  prevents  the 
wheel  from  running  when  thrown 
out  of  the  wind.  Is  in  every 
way  a  perfect  and  high  class 
article.  Price  includes  all  bolts 
for  putting  the  windmill  together 
and  bolting  it  to  tower  ;  also  pitman  rod  to  attach  windmill  to  pump 
and  cap  for  wood  tower,  or  will  furnish  cap  for  four-post  steel  tower, 
if  so  ordered.  This  windmill  can  be  used  on  our  steel  towers  for 
8-foot  or  10-foot  steel  windmills,  but  when  ordering  tower  you  must 
state  that  it  is  to  be  fitted  for  this  windmill.  Made  in  one  size  only, 
with  10-foot  wheel.  Weight,  300  pounds.  Shipped  knocked  down 
from  factory  in  Northwestern  Michigan.

CAN  RECOMMEND  OUR  WINDMILL  TO  EVERY  FARMER. 

Dickens,  Texas. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— I  recommend  your  windmill  to  every  farmer  who  wants  a  good 
windmill  that  will  give  first  class  satisfaction.  I  am  from  Illinois  myself  but  now 
live  in  Texas.  I  can  grind  forty  bushels  per  day  with  your  power  windmill.  It  is  as 
good  to  pump  water  as  any  in  this  section.  Yours  truly,  S.  AUSTIN. 


BETTER  THAN  HE  EXPECTED. 

Matthewson,  Okla. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  wish  to  say  that  the  windmill  I  got  a  short  time  ago  is  better  than 
I  thought  it  would  be  when  I  ordered  it.  It  is  a  good,  durable  windmill  and  I  am 
well  pleased  with  it.  The  only  trouble  with  us  is  the  freight.  We  are  a  good  ways 
from  market.  Still  my  profit  on  windmill  was  $4.90.  Yours  very  respectfully, 

H.  C.  SNYDER.

WINDMILL  REGULATORS,  ETC. 


PEERLESS  WINDMILL  REGULATOR 
THE  BEST  WINDMILL  REGULATOR  MADE 

Can  be  attached  to  any  make  of 
wood  or  steel  windmill  whether  on  wood 
or  steel  tower  or  mast;  takes  full  charge 
of  the  windmill,  pulls  it  out  of  the  wind 
when  tank  is  full,  and  allows  the  mill  to 
turn  into  the  wind  when  the  water  lowers; 
makes  it  safe  to  erect  windmills  any¬ 
where  and  is  a  protection  against  storms.  When  tank  is  full  of 
water,  the  float  releases  the  weighted  circular  ratchet  and  the 

r 

action  of  the  windmill  pump  rod*  pulls  the  windmill  out  of  the 
wind.  When  the  water  lowers,  the  weight  of  the  float  disengages 
the  ratchet  dog  and  allows  the  windmill  to  turn  back  into  wind. 
The  wire  guide  is  in  the  form  of  a  sheave,  so  that  the  con¬ 
necting  wire  is  in  one  continuous  piece.  This  regulator  is  strong 
and  durable  and  is  very  easy  to  attach.  Price  is  for  the  regula¬ 
tor  complete,  except  the  float  which  you  make  of  wood.  Weight, 
30  pounds.  Can  ship  from  Chicago  or  from  factory  in  South¬ 
western  Michigan.

KENWOOD  WINDMILL  REGULATOR 

The  simplest  and  most  perfect  work¬ 
ing  cheap  Windmill  Regulator  made.  The 
illustration  shows  how  the  regulator  is  at¬ 
tached.  The  windmill  pump  pole  works  up 
and  down  through  the  main  casting  of  the 
regulator.  The  steel  ratchet  bar  is  connec¬ 
ted  to  and  forms  a  part  of  the  pull  out 

wire.  When  the  tank  is  full  it  allows  one 
of  the  dogs  to  drop  into  the  ratchet  and 
the  successive  motions  of  the  pump  pole 
pulls  the  windmill  out  of  the  wind.  When  the  water  lowers  in 

the  tank,  the  dog  is  released  and  allows  the  windmill  to  turn 

into  the  wind  again.  Can  be  used  on  any  style  or  make  of

WINDMILL  CUSHION  PUMP  SPRING 

Consists  of  a  strong  coil  spring  enclosed 
in  a  skeleton  case.  The  lower  end  of  this 
spring  is  gripped  by  two  steel  bars  which  con¬ 
nect  with  the  pump  pole  of  the  windmill.  The  skeleton  case  grips 
the  top  of  the  spring  and  the  lower  end  of  the  case  connects  with 
the  pump,  and  the  spring  itself  takes  off  all  the  strain  and  sudden 
jars  which  often  times  occur  through  unsteadiness  of  the  wind  or 
from  other  causes.  Increases  the  life  of  both  windmill  and  pump. 
Should  and  can  be  used  in  connection  with  every  pumping  windmill.

GALVANIZED  STEEL  TANKS. 


GENERAL  DESCRIPTION  OF  GALVANIZED  STEEL  TANKS. 


All  of  onr  Galvanized  Steel  Tanks  are 
made  of  the  best  quality  of  standard 
No.  20  gauge  galvanized  sheet  steel. 
The  tops  are  bound  with  angle  steel.  Bot¬ 
toms  are  secured  between  two  pieces  of 
flat  steel,  or  between  a  piece  of  angle 
steel  and  a  piece  of  flat  steel,  this  depend¬ 
ing  upon  the  size  of  the  tank.  Sides  are 
firmly  braced,  when  size  and  shape  re¬ 
quire  it,  with  angle  steel  bars.  Round 
end,  square  end,  oval  and  the  larger  sizes 
of  round  storage  tanks  have  angle  steel 
bars  across  the  top,  the  number  of  these 
bars  being  governed  by  the  length  or  size 
of  the  tank.  This  construction  and  the 
fact  that  we  do  not  use  light  weight  or 
under  gauge  steel,  makes  our  steel  tanks 
the  strongest,  best  made  and  most  durable 
tanks  on  the  market,  and  they  are  war¬ 
ranted  not  to  leak  or  break  down. 

A  tank  made  of  No.  1  8  gauge  steel  will 
cost  one-fifth  more,  or  a  tank  made  of 
No.  16  gauge  steel  will  cost  two-fifths 
more  than  the  prices  shown  in  the  cata¬ 
logue,  and  weights  will  increase  in  about 
one-half  of  this  proportion. 

We  will  not  cut  pipe  connection  holes 
in  steel  tanks.  These  holes  you  can  easily 
cut  for  yourself  exactly  where  you  want 
them  by  using  a  cold  chisel  and  cutting 
against  the  end  of  a  block  of  hardwood. 


We  cannot,  under  any  circumstances,  ac¬ 
cept  the  return  of  steel  tanks  in  which 
hoies  have  been  cut.  Pipe  connections, 
consisting  of  1  close  nipple,  2  leather 
washers,  2  lock  nuts  and  1  pipe  cap  will 
be  furnished  at  the  following  prices: 
%-inch,  20c;  1-inch,  25c;  134-inch,  30c. 

Regular  flat  hinged  covers  for  steel 
tanks  will  be  furnished  at  12  cents  per 
square  foot,  measuring  round  tanks  as 
though  they  were  square  and  round  end 
tanks  as  though  they  were  square  at  ends. 

When  tanks  are  shipped  knocked 
down,  all  holes  are  punched,  every  part 
is  fitted  together  at  the  factory  and 
sufficient  solder  and  rivets  are  sent  with 
which  to  put  the  tank  together.  Cap¬ 
acities  shown  in  barrels  are  based  on  3134 
gallons  to  the  barrel. 

Certain  tanks  which  are  reg¬ 
ularly  shipped  set  up  can  and 
will  be  shipped  knocked  down 
if  so  ordered,  and  when  such  tanks  weigh 
much  over  200  pounds  and  are  to  be 
shipped  over  500  miles,  or  when  any  size 
of  such  tanks  are  to  be  shipped  over  1,000 
miles  we  advise  you  to  order  them  knocked 
down,  because  you  will  then  save  in 
freight  charges  more  than  it  should  cost 
you  to  put  the  tank  together. 


Galvanized  Steel  Round  Tanks. 

Always  shipped  set 
up  unless  otherwise 
ordered.  As  stated 
above  (see  4®"),  these 
tanks  can  and  will  be 
shipped  knocked  down 
when  so  ordered.  Ship¬

from  you  will  pump  with  less  wind  than 
any  windmill  around  here  and  is  a  sav¬ 
ing  to  me  of  the  neat  little  sum  of  $11.37. 
Yours  truly,  A.  W.  ANDERSON.

It  is  operated  by 
a  metal  ball  float 
connected  to  a 
rust  proof  valve 
which  closes  on

float.  Absolutely 
reliable.  As  soon  as  pan  fills  up  to  near

Float  chamber  is  inside  the  barrel  or 
tank,  out  of  all  mud  and  dirt.  Requires  a 
2-inch  hole  for  stem  of  float  chamber  to 
pass  through  and  is  easily  attached.  In¬

These  waterers 
are  extra  large

for  horses,  cat¬

right  for  barns 
and  livery  stables.  Have  automatic  valve, 
which  closes  when  pan  is  nearly  full.  No 
waste  water,  no  mud  or  slush  around  the 
waterer.  Are  very  desirable  for  public 
watering  on  the  streets  of  small  towns 
or  villages  where  there  is  no  sewer  sys¬ 
tem  to  carry  off  waste  water.  The  No.  3 
is  tapped  for  l-inch  iron  pipe,  and  is  not 
intended  for  high  pressure.  The  No.  4  is 
tapped  for  %-inch  iron  pijje  and  will  work 
up  to  a  pressure  of  80  pounds;  any  higher 
pressure  merely  holds  the  valve  shut.

PEERLESS  TANK  HEATERS. 


THE  BEST  TANK  HEATERS  MADE. 


Long  experience  in  the  sale  of  tank 
heaters  andcareful  investigationintothe 
merits  of  different  forms  and  styles  of 
heaters  have  led  us  to  adopt  this  one  as 
our  leader.  It  is  a  heater  which  we  know 
will  give  perfect  satisfaction  to  our  custo¬ 
mers,  one  which  we  can  and  do  guarantee 
fully,  not  only  as  to  material  and  work¬ 
manship,  but  also  as  to  simplicity,  utility 
and  durability.  The  heater  is  26  inches 
high,  made  with  No.  20  gauge  galvanized 
steel  sides,  No.  18  gaug’e  galvanized  steel 
bottom  and  with  a  swinging  cast  iron  top 
in  which  there  is  an  air  damper.  The  sides 
are  double  riveted  in  fireproof  cement 
and  the  bottom  is  riveted  and  soldered. 
Every  heater  is  warranted  not  to  leak. 
The  No.  1  heater  is  16  inches  in  diameter, 
the  No.  2  is  19  inches  in  diameter.  Both  are  made  as  plain  heaters  and  with  either 
hinged  grate  or  basket  grate.  They  are  also  both  made  with  an  improved  heat 
deflector  which  directs  the  heat  against  the  sides  of  the  heater,  doubling  its  ef¬ 
ficiency  and  making  it  far  more  economical.  This  deflector  can  be  adjusted  as  to 
height  and  can  be  used  with  either  style  grate,  and  either  grate  can  be  taken  out, 
by  removing  the  cover  of  the  opening  through  which  the  fuel  is  passed  and  the 
ashes  removed.  Prices  are  for  the  heaters  complete  with  shovel,  poker,  holding 
down  rods  and  one  joint  of  5-inch  pipe  with  spark  arrester  and  hood.  Shipped

Gentlemen  :  —  In  regard  to  windmills 
would  say, I  set  the  last  one  up  Monday  and 
they  are  all  right,  a  fine  windmill.  They 
ask  $50.00  for  a  windmill  no  better  than

Kenwood  Tank  Heater. 

A  very  popular  heat¬ 
er  made  of  heavy  gal¬ 
vanized  steel,  except 
the  top  and  grate  which 
are  cast  iron.  The  top 
is  securely  fastened  to 
the  sides.  It  has  an  air 
damper  and  two  covers 
which  give  easy  access 
to  both  fire  pot  and  air 
chamber.  The  grate  is 
made  to  dump  and  is 
suitable  for  coal,  wood  or 
cobs.  Ashes  are  removed 
with  a  long  handled 
shovel  through  the  air 
chamber.  Above  the  grate  there  is  a  coil 
made  of  ^4-inch  iron  pipe,  through  which 
the  water  circulates.  This  pipe  enters 
and  leaves  the  heater  on  the  air  chamber 
side,  so  that  its  packing  cannot  burn 
out  and  make  the  tank  leak.  Water  circu¬ 
lating  through  this  pipe  becomes  heated 
and  greatly  increases  the  efficiency  of  the 
heater.  Fire  pot  is  20  inches  deep  above 
grate  and  is  double,  having  a  steel  lining. 
Heater  occupies  a  floor  space  of  12x21  in¬ 
ches  and  is  24  inches  high.  Price  is  for

PUMP  DEPARTMENT . 

PROBABLY  THERE  IS  NO  OTHER  LINE 

save  our  customers  more  money  than  we  can  on  pumps.  We  fit  all  our  pumps  so 
anyone  can  set  them  in  the  well  without  any  trouble.  The  only  special  tool  required 
is  a  pipe  tong.  We  sell  a  pipe  tong  for  66  cents,  and  everyone  should  have  one. 
■  p  |  id  DOUBT  write  us,  giving  us  this  information:  How  deep  is  well? 

....  — _ — - -  Is  force  pump  or  lift  pump  wanted?  How  much  water  is 

wanted  per  day?  When  water  is  to  be  drawn  from  a  distance  or  forced  to  a 
distance,  send  a  rough  drawing  showing  position  of  pump,  position  of  well,  giving 
all  angles  and  measurements.  We  will  name  our  price  on  the  best  outfit. 

Write  for  our  special  Pump  Catalogue  which  shows  a  full  line  of  shallow 
well,  cistern,  wood  and  chain  pumps. 


HOW  TO  ORDER  A  PUMP. 


When  a  pump  is  ordered  for  a  well  more  than  35 -or  30  feet  deep,  the  cylin¬ 
der  should  be  placed  within  10  feet  of  the  bottom  of  well.  It  might  be  well  to  add 
here  that  the  nearer  a  cylinder  is  placed  to  the  water  the  better  it  will  work,  and 
where  possible  it  is  always  advisable  to  place  the  cylinder  directly  in  the  water. 
When  so  ordered,  it  takes  more  pump  rod  and  pump  rod  couplings,  and  requires  ex¬ 
tra  labor,  for  which  we  make  an  extra  charge  of  5  cents  per  foot  for  each  foot  the 
cylinder  is  put  down.  This  charge  is  to  be  added  to  cost  of  pump  and  pipe  complete. 

NOTICE — The  cost  of  pipe  is  not  included  in  above  extra  charge.  We  give 
below  a  sample  order  for  pump  and  pipe  complete  to  reach  74  feet  from  platform 
with  cylinder  put  down  65  feet.

Underground  Valve  Force  Pump. 

This  pump  is  especially 
adapted  for  2-inch  tubular 
wells,  also  114-inch  pipe  for 
open  or  drilled  wells.  By 
operating  the  wheel  in  the 
top  of  the  gooseneck,  the 
water  may  be  discharged 
either  through  the  spout 
or  through  the  underground 
pipe  at  the  bridge  piece  be¬ 
low.  It  differs  from  other 
three-way  valve  pumps  in 
that  the  operating  screw, 
which  is  of  brass,  is  below, 
near  the  valve,  and  not  at 
the  gooseneck,  consequently 
there  is  no  liability  to  chill 
and  freeze.  The  pipe  on  the 
right  forms  the  air  cham¬ 
ber.  When  this  pump  is  used 
for  tubular  wells,  it  is  made 
with  a  cap  at  the  stuffing 
box,  which,  when  unscrewed, 
leaves  an  opening  large 
enough  to  pull  the  plunger 
up  through  without  discon¬ 
necting  the  pipe  or  disturb¬ 
ing  the  pump  in  any  way. 
This  pump  is  always  sent 
for  2-inch  pipe,  but  may  be 
bushed  for  smaller  sizes, 
114-inch  discharge  pipe.

Acme  Rotary  Power  Force 
Pumps. 


This  picture  shows  our  Acme  Rotary 
Power  Pumps,  without  outside  gearing, 
arranged  with  tight  and  loose  pulleys. 
It  is  well  adapted  for  a  small  fire  pump, 
and  will  throw  water  from  125  to  150 
feet  horizontally.  These  pumps  are 
constructed  in  the  same  perfect  manner 
as  those  of  a  larger  class,  the  only 
difference  being  in  the  absence  of 
the  outside  gearing.  The  driving  shaft 
is  made  of  ample  length  to  permit  a 
balance  wheel  with  handle  to  be 
placed  on  outside  of  the  bearing,  readily 
enabling  it  to  be  worked  by  hand  in  an 
emergency.  The  spout  is  screwed  for  hose 
on  the  outer  end,  and  for  wrought 
iron  pipe  where  it  connects  to  the  pump. 
These  pumps  can  be  run  up  to  200  revolu¬ 
tions  per  minute  without  injury,  although 
we  recommend  a  lower  rate  of  speed. 
Should  not  be  placed  over  15  to  20  feet 
distance  from  water.  The  second  col¬ 
umn  of  figures  gives  the  capacity  per 
minute  of  100  revolutions.

Brass  Body  Cylinders. 

Brass  Body  Cylinders  are 
practically  as  good  as  the  solid 
brass,  and  much  cheaper.  The 

barrel  is  made  of  a  seamless  brass 
tube,  and  workmanship,  stroke 
and  capacity  are  all  same  as  iron 
cylinders.  10  and  12-inch  cylin¬ 
ders  have  6-inch  stroke,  14-inch 
cylinder  has  8-inch  stroke  and 
16-inch  cylinder  has  10-inch

Artesian  Well  Brass  Cylinders. 

This  illustration  represents  our 
all  brass  cylinder  to  be  used  in 
artesian  wells,  the  shell  being 
made  of  heavy  seamless  brass 
tubing,  fitted  with  hard  brass  or 
bronze  ball  valves  and  which  are 
supplied  with  best  cupped  oak 
tanned  leathers.  This  cylinder 
may  be  placed  in  open  wells  and  in 
drilled  wells  where  the  pipe  or  cas¬ 
ing  is  long  enough  to  take  the  cyl¬ 
inder  attachments.  They  are  adap¬ 
ted  to  work  in  the  deepest  wells. 

NOTICE— Theplunger  and  lower 
valves  may  be  removed  through 
the  connecting  pipe,  which  is  larger 
in  diameter  than  the  bore  of  the 
cylinder,  thus  making  it  conven- 
ient  when  repairs  are  necessary.

Pump  Cylinders. 

By  means  of  the  cylinder  water  is  raised  and  unless  the  cylinder  is 
well  made  no  good  results  can  be  obtained.  A  good  cylinder  must  be 
bored  true  and  plunger  must  fit  accurately.  Valves  must  be  simple  and 
durable.  The  cost  of  repairing  a  cylinder  is  usually  more  than  its  first 
cost,  so  it  pays  to  get  the  best.  Our  cylinders  are  the  best  that  skilled 
workmen  can  produce  arid  our  prices  as  low  as  equally  well  made  goods 
can  be  sold  for.  Cylinders  12  inches  long  have  6-inch  stroke  and  can 
be  used  in  wells  up  to  35  feet  deep.  Cylinders  10  inches  long  have  6-inch 
stroke  and  can  be  used  in  wells  up  to  35  to  75  feet  deep.  Cylinders  14  inches 
long  have  8-inch  stroke  and  can  be  used  in  wells  up  to  150  feet  deep. 
Cylinders  16  inches  long  have  10-inch  stroke  and  can  be  used  in  wells  up 
to  200  feet  deep.  Cylinders  2  inches  in  diameter  are  fitted  for  1-inch  pipe. 
Cylinders  3*4  inches  in  diameter  are  fitted  for  l*4-inch  pipe.  Cylinders 
4  inches  in  diameter  are  fitted  for  2-inch  pipe.  All  others  fitted  for  1%-inch  pipe.

Ball  Valve  Pump 
Cylinders. 

In  our  Ball  Valve  Cylinder  we 
have  the  best  deep  well  cylinder 
made.  In  putting  down  a  75  to 
300-foot  well,  it  is  very  essen¬ 
tial  that  you  have  a  cylinder 
that  will  work  well  at  all 
times  and  last  a  lifetime.  Pull¬ 
ing  up  a  pump  of  this  kind  costs 
money.  This  cylinder  is  fitted 
with  a  four-leather  plunger  and 
brass  bronze  ball  valve,  which  will 
raise  a  greater  amount  of  water 
and  last  longer  than  any  cylinder 
on  the  market.  Furnished  with 
either  inside  or  outside  caps. 
Be  sure  and  state  kind  wanted.

Spiral  Riveted  Pipe. 

Spiral  Riveted 

_ _ _ _  Pip©*  made  of  the 

best  annealed  sheet  steel.  Stronger  than 
any  other  pipe  of  equal  thickness,  the 
spiral  seam  being  the  strongest  part. 
Light,  durable  and  cheap  in  price.  Just 
the  thing  for  irrigation,  draining,  suction 
and  discharge  of  pumps,  etc.  We  recom¬ 
mend  pipe  with  cast  flanges,  which  can  be 
bolted  together  at  the  joints,  but  for  all

~  K,y A'y©  and  Float. 

No.  34N6475  This  Valve  and  Float  Is 
used  to  regulate  the  supply  of  water  in 
a  watering-  trough.  The  Float  is  attached 
to  the  end  of  the  lever,  and  as  the  water 
rises  in  the  trough  it  shuts  the  valve. 
This  valve  is  positive  in  opening  or  clos¬ 
ing  under  high  or  low 
’pressure.  No  chance  of 
friction  or  of  sticking  in  position. 
It  will  resist  almost  any  pressure, 
as  the  pitman  connecting  fulcrum 
and  valve,  comes  in  a  straight  line  with 
thrust  of  pressure  when  valve  is  closed. 
It  has  brass  valve  seat.  By  changing  po¬ 
sition  of  lever  it  will  either  open  or  close 
when  used  either  on  bottom  or  side  of  tank, 
or  when  two  levers  are  used  it  can  be  used 
to  open  or  close.  Base  is  large,  so  that  no 
lock  nut  is  needed  inside  of  the  tank.

STOOD  A  STORM  THAT  WRECKED  ALE  OTHERS. 

Markleville,  Ind. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill, 

Dear  Sirs:— On  June  25. 1902,  a  tornado  passed  through  this  community,  tearing 
down  a  number  of  buildings,  destroying  crops,  timber,  etc.  Every  steel  windmill 
except  mine  was  blown  over.  We  are  truly  glad  we  bought  one  of  your  steel  mills. 

From  a  customer,  J.  A.  McDANIEL. 


WELL  PLEASED— SAVED  $20.00. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  received  the  windmill  and  tower  I  bought  of  you  all  right.  I  am 
well  pleased  with  the  outfit.  I  saved  $20.00  by  buying  of  you.  My  father  will  send 
you  an  order  today  for  a  mill  and  tower.  Wishing  you  future  success,  I  remain, 

Yours  truly,  S.  T.  WHEELER. 


A  STANDING  ADVERTISEMENT. 

Burns,  Minn. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  have  had  my  windmill  up  sometime,  it  works  fine.  As  you  probably 
know,  it  is  a  10-foot  mill,  and  it  pumps  when  hardly  a  breeze  can  be  felt.  I  am  well 
pleased  with  it,  and  it  is  advertising  your  mills  most  every  day. 

Yours  truly,  LEWIS  JOHNSON. 


BETTER  THAN  $50.00  WINDMILLS. 

Germantown,  Cal. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— Last  spring  we  bought  a  windmill  of  you.  We  received  it  in  good 
condition  and  are  well  satisfied  with  it.  It  is  better  than  any  $50.00  windmill  around 
here,  and  we  paid  only  $37.00  with  freight.  Yours  truly,  MRS.  J.  LOBSIEN. 


MAKING  FRIENDS  EVERY  DAY. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  am  very  thankful  for  your  catalogue  and  further  wish  to  inform 
you  that  my  windmill  is  giving  perfect  satisfaction  in  every  way  and  is  making 
friends  every  day  and  is  equal  if  not  better  than  the  high  priced  mills  selling  in  our 
town.  Yours  respectfully,  JOHN  A.  RHEA. 


ONE  WINDMILL  SELLS  ANOTHER. 

Beetown,  Wis. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— I  received  your  pumping  windmill  all  right  and  in  good  shape.  I  am 
well  satisfied  with  it.  I  find  the  windmill  just  as  you  represented.  I  got  a  better 
windmill  than  I  expected  to  get  for  the  money,  and  with  your  treatment  I  have 
no  fault  to  find;  everything  is  satisfactory.  My  windmill  was  the  means  of  selling 
one  to  my  neighbor,  Mr.  John  Pringle,  in  town  of  Cassville.  I  can  recommend  your 
windmills  as  being  first  class.  I  remain,  very  truly  yours, 

SAMUEL  BIRCH. 


HAS  NOT  GIVEN  A  MINUTE’S  TROUBLE. 

Kenedy,  Texas. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— In  reply  to  your  letter  of  recent  date  I  am  glad  to  say  the  windmill 
arrived  in  good  condition,  and  has  been  pumping  water  now  16  months,  only  when 
shut  off,  and  has  never  given  me  a  minute’s  trouble;  it  has  given  entire  satisfaction, 
and  I  do  not  only  feel  that  I  have  saved  money,  I  know  it. 

_ I  remain,  as  ever,  C.  SCRUGGO. 


STRONGEST  AND  SIMPLEST  EVER  SEEN. 

Little  Black,  Wis. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:  I  bought  one  of  your  steel  windmills  last  spring  and  it  gives  entire 
satisfaction.  It  is  exactly  as  represented,  and  I  can  cheerfully  recommend  it  to 
anyone  wanting  a  windmill.  I  saved  from  $3.00  to  $10.00  in  buying  from  your  house. 
The  windmill  is  one  of  the  strongest  and  simplest  I  have  ever  seen.  It  does  not 
freeze  down  (as  some  of  the  other  dealers  said)  in  time  of  sleet,  but  works  fine  in 
every  respect.  _ H.  A.  PROHL. 


NO  TROUBLE  TO  PUT  IT  UP. 

Red  Oak,  Iowa. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago.  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— One  year  ago  last  September  I  received  one  of  your  windmills  in 
good  shape.  In  about  a  month  after  my  well  was  finished  and  I  put  up  the  windmill 
myself  without  any  trouble,  and  I  think  I  have  as  good  a  windmill  as  anyone.  The 
brake  I  think  on  it  is  quite  a  saving  to  the  windmill,  it  does  not  run  any  when  out  of 
gear.  I  notice  several  others  do.  I  suppose  I  saved  at  least  $10.00  on  it  by  getting  it 
of  you.  Yours  truly,  F.  E.  SHIRES.

NO  TROUBLE  TO  ERECT,  SAVED  $20.00. 

Modesto,  Ill. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  received  the  windmill  and  tower  last  summer,  which  is  a  fine  out¬ 
fit.  Had  no  trouble  to  put  together  and  raise.  I  saved  about  $20.00  by  sending  to 
you  for  it.  Y ours  truly, 

BARTON  W.  TURNER. 


KNOCKS  OUT  ITS  COMPETITORS. 

Quincy,  Ill. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— The  windmill  arrived  in  good  shape,  it  is  up  and  running  right  along, 
it  runs  easy  and  does  its  pumping  like  a  little  man,  it  knocks  out  a  certain  mill  that 
is  made  in  Chicago,  and  that  claims  to  be  the  best  mill  made. 

Yours,  VALENTINE  KIEM. 


BEST  WINDMILL  IN  THE  NEIGHBORHOOD. 

Palmyra,  Nebr. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— The  windmill  that  I  bought  from  you  I  can  say  is  the  best  windmill 
in  my  neighborhood,  and  my  neighbors  all  like  it.  My  neighbors,  Mr.  Milekin  and 
Mr.  Wallon  bought  mills  from  your  house  because  they  like  my  mill,  and  think  it  is 
the  best  mill  they  ever  saw.  I  have  lost  my  big  catalogue.  Please  send  me  another, 
as  I  think  your  house  is  a  good  place  to  buy  from. 

MARX  L.  BOLZ. 


DOING  GOOD  WORK,  AND  SAVED  $20.00. 

Cisne,  Ill. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— The  windmill  I  bought  of  you  is  doing  good  work,  and  runs  with  less 
wind  than  most  mills,  and  it  has  cost  me  about  $20.00  less  than  I  would  have  had  to 
pay  an  agent.  Will  you  please  send  me  some  circulars  and  prices  of  heating  stoves  ? 

Yours  respectfully,  FRED  PHILLIPS. 


EASIEST  RUNNING  WINDMILL  IN  THE  NEIGHBORHOOD. 

Stockton,  Cal. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  received  my  windmill  all  right.  I  have  it  up  and  running  and  am 
very  much  pleased  with  it,  and  all  who  see  it  pump  water  say  it  seems  to  run  the 
easiest  of  any  windmill  in  sight,  which  are  no  few,  and  of  all  makes  and  kinds,  and 
I  saved  $10.00.  I  believe  the  mill  is  all  you  claim  for  it. 

Respectfully  yours,  GEO.  S.  MARSHALL. 


RUNS  WHEN  OTHERS  ARE  IDLE. 

Canton,  Neb. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  bought  a  10-foot  steel  windmill  from  you  in  July  1899  which  has 
given  the  best  of  satisfaction.  It  runs  like  a  top,  runs  when  my  other  mills  are 
standing  still.  It  regulates  itself  to  the  wind  with  such  accuracy  that  it  never 
stands  still  a  minute  when  the  wind  is  changing.  In  this  country  it  is  often  the 
case  the  wind  will  blow  from  all  directions  in  a  few  hours,  I  often  have  to  go  up  on 
the  tower  of  my  other  mills  to  turn  the  mill  so  the  wind  will  strike  the  mill  so  as  to 
make  the  mill  turn.  I  am  watering  400  head  of  cattle  with  your  mill  and  it  runs 
only  about  half  of  the  time,  It  is  over  a  well  110  feet  deep  and  114-inch  pipe.  No 
better  mill  in  existence.  It  costs  ten  dollars  less  than  any  other  10-foot  steel  mill 
laid  down  here.  Yours  respectfully,  EMMETT  JOHNSON. 


SAVED  $27.50. 

Weidmaner,  Ontario,  Can. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— I  now  write  you  because  I  think  it  is  right  to  let  you  know  how  I 
got  along  with  my  windmill.  Well  I  got  it  all  right  in  good  condition  and  I  also  got  it 
erected  all  right  without  any  trouble,  got  everything  in  the  right  place  and  it  works 
slick.  I  think  it  is  the  nicest  windmill  that  I  ever  saw  and  the  best  part  of  the  deal 
is  that  I  saved  $27.50  over  the  best  offer  that  I  had  from  any  of  the  agents  in  our 
locality  and  that  is  worth  saving.  Don’t  think  there  will  be  any  danger  of  me 
returning  the  mill  after  thirty  days’  trial.  I  remain  yours, 

GEORGE  GRAHAM. 


SAVED  ABOUT  $20.00. 

Clear  Lake,  Iowa. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— The  windmill  I  bought  of  you  arrived  in  good  shape,  and  we  put  it 
up  without  any  trouble.  It  works  to  our  entire  satisfaction  and  cost  me  about  $20.00 
less  than  the  dealer  would  charge  me  for  one  of  the  same  class. 

Thanking  you  for  past  favors,  I  remain,  Yours  truly, 


WM.  BRAGG.

PROOF  AGAINST  STORMS. 

Dixville,  Minn. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen: — The  windmill  I  received  from  you  some  time  ago  has  satisfied  me. 
I  put  it  up  myself :  a  good  many  windmills  were  blown  down  but  mine  stands  all 
right.  I  am  sorry  that  I  did  not  order  a  40- foot  tower  instead  of  a  30-foot.  I  think.  I 
shall  raise  it  ten  feet  higher  by  putting  a  10-foot  tower  on  the  bottom. 

Yours  truly,  EDWARD  HODORFF. 


STRONGEST  MIL. I*  MADE. 

Springfield,  S.  D. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  am  more  than  pleased  with  the  windmill,  and  would  not  trade  for 
$10.00  to  boot  on  any  other  windmill  in  my  neighborhood,  which  local  agents  sell 
from  $5.00  to  $15.00  more.  I  think  it  is  the  strongest  windmill  made.  Perfect  in 
every  way  and  works  to  a  queen’s  taste.  Yours  truly,  EMIL  KREBER. 


RUNS  WHEN  OTHER  WINDMILLS  DO  NOT. 

Burns,  Oregon. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— Last  spring  I  received  of  your  firm  a  10-foot  windmill;  I  can  truly 
say  it  has  given  me  full  satisfaction,  and  is  in  all  points  just  as  represent  d.  I  know 
it  will  run  wnere  other  windmills  do  not.  Fours  truly,  FRED.  DL  NSTED. 


HIS  NEIGHBORS  LIKE  IT  BETTER  THAN  THEIR  OWN. 

Pender,  Nebraska. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— The  windmill  I  ordered  from  you  some  time  ago  I  received  all  O.  K. 
I  had  it  put  up  next  day  after  receiving  it.  The  windmill  gives  me  entire  satisfac¬ 
tion  and  only  cost  me  one-half  as  much  as  they  ask  for  windmills  here.  My 
neighbors  who  helped  me  put  up  the  windmill  all  like  it  better  than  their  own,  for 
which  I  send  you  many  thanks.  You  shall  hear  from  me  again. 

_ Yours  truly,  J.  H.  MULLIN. 

HAS  TWO  AND  LIKES  THEM. 

Decatur,  Mich. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— The  windmill  came  all  O.  K.  and  I  am  well  pleased  with  it.  I  have 
two  of  the  kind  now.  One  has  been  in  constant  use  for  eight  years  and  is  in  good 
condition  yet.  It  pumps  water  for  a  large  amount  of  stock.  It  has  never  failed  to 
furnish  all  the  water  we  needed  and  it  takes  so  little  wind. 

Respectfully  yours,  W.  T.  FOSDICK. 


RUNS  BETTER  THAN  OTHER  MILLS. 

Fisher,  Ill. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  like  the  windmill  I  bought  of  you  some  time  ago.  I  am  well  pleased 
with  the  way  it  works  and  it  is  better  built  than  one  windmill  I  was  offered  at  home 
at  $20.00  more  in  price,  so  I  am  well  pleased,  and  everyone  that  sees  the  windmill 
says  it  runs  better  than  any  they  ever  saw.  The  tank  is  all  right,  built  stronger 
than  most  tanks  that  are  sold  here.  Yours  respectfully,  I.  D.  NELSON. 


THEY  ALL  LIKE  OUR  MILLS. 

Wray,  Colo. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— The  windmill  I  purchased  from  you  arrived  indue  time  and  we  put 
it  up.  It  runs  fine.  I  am  well  pleased  with  it  and  can  recommend  it  to  anyone.  I 
consider  I  saved  $9.00  by  buying  this  windmill.  Please  send  me  your  catalogue,  as  I 
wish  to  order  some  goods  in  the  near  future.  Respectfully  yours, 

C.  C.  MCGINNIS. 

(Mr.  McGinnis  has  since  ordered  windmills  for  Mr.  J.  J.  Smith,  Mr.  T.  E.  Dear- 
mond  and  Mr.  Mitchel  Cruse,  all  of  Wray,  Colo.) 


LEADS  THEM  ALL. 

Knights  Ferry,  Calif. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— Having  put  the  12-foot  pumping  windmill  on  my  tower,  I  now  write 
you  that  the  mill  is  the  best  mill  in  this  county  and  I  will  venture  to  say  in  the  state 
of  California  without  a  doubt.  My  mill  is  pumping  water  180  feet  and  pulls  a  3-inch 
pump  on  a  6-inch  stroke  and  runs  when  all  the  other  mills  in  the  neighborhood  are 
standing  still.  There  are  all  kinds  here  and  this  mill  leads  them  all.  I  will  recom¬ 
mend  it  to  anybody  as  the  best  mill  for  all  purposes.  Everybody  that  sees  it  says  it 
is  the  best  they  ever  saw.  It  pumped  my  two  tanks  of  22,000  gallons  in  less  than 
three  days  in  calm  weather  the  first  week  of  August,  it  was  terrible  hot,  112  in  the 
shade,  and  very  little  wind.  I  remain.  Yours  truly,  T.  J.  0 ASHMAN.

MORE  THAN  PLEASED. 

Thomson,  Ill. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:  The  windmill  came  to  hand  on  time  all  O.  K.  and  I  had  it  set  up 
and  it  has  run  like  a  top  ever  since;  have  only  had  to  pump  by  hand  twice  on  still 
days,  which  is  remarkable,  as  my  home  is  at  the  foot  of  a  high  bluff  where  I  had 
thought  that  a  windmill  would  run  only  when  the  wind  was  from  the  east;  therefore 
am  more  than  pleased  with  it.  Yours  respectfully,  E.  H.  DYSON. 


RUNS  LIRE  A  TOP. 

Ticonic,  Iowa. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen :  I  am  very  much  pleased  with  the  windmill.  It  runs  like  a  top. 
Anybody  would  not  know  that  it  was  running  or  not  unless  they  looked  at  it.  It 
runs  when  the  old  one  would  not.  I  do  not  know  what  they  cost  here,  but  I  think 
my  cousin  paid  $28.00  for  the  one  he  has,  and  I  know  that  I  saved  money  by  sending 
to  you.  I  know  that  I  can  save  about  25  per  cent,  or  more. 

Yours  truly,  JNO.  W.  NEWTON. 


BETTER  THAN  REPRESENTED. 

New  London,  Conn. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:  I  purchased  an  8-foot  windmill  of  you  over  a  month  ago,  and  find 
that  it  works  like  a  charm;  it  does  more  than  you  agreed  it  would  in  your  catalogue. 
I  have,  in  the  course  of  two  months,  sent  three  orders  to  your  firm,  amounting  to 
over  $250.00,  and  I  find  the  firm  to  be  very  respectable  in  their  dealings,  even 
sending  me  back  money  I  overpaid,  for  which  I  thank  you  very  much.  1  also  want 
to  speak  of  the  tank  I  purchased  of  you.  I  have  showed  same  to  a  great  many 
of  my  neighbors ,  also  I  have  told  them  the  price  paid  for  same,  and  they  are  astonished 
at  it.  Stove  also  is  very  satisfactory.  I  find  that  the  freight  charges  are  but  very 
little.  I  consider  myself  in  luck  to  find  such  a  respectable  place  to  buy  the  things  I 
purchased;  quite  different  from  another  large  firm  in  Chicago  (I  will  not  mention 
the  name)  which  1  had  dealings  with.  Hoping  you  success  in  your  business, 
I  remain,  Yours  respectfully,  LAWRENCE  COIT. 


BEST  TOWER  HE  EVER  SAW. 

Cedar  Lake,  Iowa. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:  The  8-foot  galvanized  windmill  I  bought  of  you  May  last,  has  given 
d  satisfaction;  all  the  trouble  with  it  is  to  oil  it  sometimes.  The  50-foot  steel 
tower  I  bought  of  you  is  one  of  the  best  towers  I  ever  saw.  It  is  substantial 
and  strong  and  has  many  advantages  over  other  makes,  and  is  simple  and  easy 
to  put  together.  The  saving  to  order  of  you  was  considerable. 

_ Respectfully,  OLE  OLSON. 


OUR  GOODS  AS  GOOD  AS  MONEY  CAN  BUY. 

Milfordton,  Ohio. 

Sears  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— The  balance  of  my  order  came  to  hand  today  all  right.  Will  say  in 
regard  to  tower  and  wheel  that  I  like  the  appearance  of  it,  it  is  stronger  looking 
than  any  one  erected  in  this  vicinity  of  any  make  or  price,  and  will  open  the  eyes 
of  some  that  think  Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.  sell  nothing  but  cheap  goods.  This 
order  makes  about  $200.00  worth  of  goods  that  myself  and  family  have  ordered  from 
your  house  and  all  orders  have  been  filled  very  satisfactorily,  thanks  for  same, 
Yours  truly,  W.  L.  BOTTENFIELD. 


ADVISES  ALL  TO  BUY  OUR  MAKE. 

Jonesboro,  Ark. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen: — In  regard  to  the  windmill  that  I  ordered  from  you  some  time  ago, 
I  will  say  it  is  the  best  windmill  beyond  a  doubt  that  I  ever  saw.  Its  strength  and 
durability  cannot  be  equaled  in  America.  It  has  withstood  some  very  hard  winds 
and  it  is  as  good  as  it  was  the  day  I  bought  it.  I  bought  it  for  my  mother  and  she  is 
highly  pleased  with  it.  My  advice  to  anybody  in  need  of  a  windmill  is  to  buy  your 
make.  It  cannot  be  beat.  Yours  respectfully,  J.  W.  RINEY. 


DON’T  TAKE  BUT  LITTLE  WIND. 


Friedheim,  Mo. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs  :— The  windmill,  feed  cutter  and  grinder  that  I  got  from  you  are  all  right 
and  give  very  good  satisfaction.  The  windmill  runs  like  a  top,  the  least  little 
breeze  will  make  it  run,  it  don’t  take  but  a  little  wind  1  can  do  some  work.  In  a 
good  wind  I  think  I  get  from  4  to  6  horsepower.  I  don’t  think  that  there  is  a  better 
windmill  made  for  that  price  or  any  higher  price.  I  am  very  well  satisfied  with  my 
windmill  outfit.  Thanking  you  for  your  honesty  and  kindness. 

Yours  very  truly,  JOHN  L.  GROSHEIDER.

SAVES  {$40.00  ON  TWO  OUTFITS. 


Chardon,  Iowa. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— We  have  got  our  windmills  up  we  bought  of  you  and  we  are  well 
pleased  with  them.  We  saved  over  $20.00  on  each  mill.  Think  you  will  get  more 
orders  from  this  part  of  the  country.  Yours  truly,  W.  L.  MILLER. 


IS  SATISFIED  AND  SAVED  $15.00. 

Larkspur,  Colo. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— The  windmill  I  bought  of  you  is  giving  entire  satisfaction  and  cost 
me  at  least  $15.00  less  than  other  mills  no  better.  There  are  other  parties  here 
wanting  mills  I  have  talked  with  some  of  them  and  think  I  have  convinced  them 
that  your  mill  is  the  mill  to  buy.  Yours  very  truly,,  S.  D.  ASHBY. 


STANDS  WHERE  OTHERS  FALL. 

Lewis,  Cass  Co.,  Ia. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— The  steel  mill  and  tower  I  bought  of  you  about  three  years  ago  can¬ 
not  be  excelled  by  any.  It  has  stood  the  late  storms  successfully,  while  many  hun¬ 
dred  windmills  in  our  county  have  been  blown  down  and  wrecked.  I  advise  farmers  to 
buy  the  mill  you  handle,  for  durability  and  ease  of  running. 

Yours  truly,  THOS.  MEREDITH. 


ADVISES  OTHERS  TO  PURCHASE  OF  US. 

Greenfield,  Ill. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  will  say  that  I  am  very  much  pleased  with  the  mill.  If  anyone 
wants  a  good  mill  will  recommend  your  steel  mill. 

Respectfully  yours,  D.  W.  BURROUGHS. 


SAVED  $12.00  BY  SENDING  TO  US. 

Galva,  Kan. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— The  steel  windmill  and  tower  received  from  you  is  all  O.  K.  and  am 
well  pleased  with  it  and  find  it  to  work  easy,  noiseless  and  better  than  any  one  in 
the  country.  I  saved  $12.00  by  sending  to  you.  You  can  expect  another  order  in 
the  near  future,  as  one  of  my  neighbors  wants  me  to  order  one  for  him.  Thanking 
you,  I  remain,  Yours  most  truly,  J.  Y.  BRUCE. 


EASIEST  RUNNING  MILL  IN  THE  COUNTRY.  WILL  BUY  ANOTHER. 

Byron,  Neb. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sirs:— I  received  my  windmill  all  right,  and  am  very  much  pleased  with  it, 
and  all  who  see  it  pump  water  say  it  seems  to  run  the  easiest  of  any  windmill  in  the 
country.  One  of  my  neighbors  ordered  one  just  like  it  and  speaks  highly  of  it. 

Very  truly  yours,  E.  J.  ROBERTSON. 


A  GOOD  ADVERTISEMENT. 

Claremont,  Minn. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Gentlemen:— I  received  the  windmill  in  good  condition  and  set  it  up,  and  find  it 
to  work  easy,  noiseless  and  better  than  any  one  in  the  country,  and  I  saved  many 
dollars.  It  is  a  good  advertisement  of  your  Supply  House.  I  intended  to  write  long 
before  this,  but  was  so  busy  and  forgot.  Thanking  you,  I  remain 

Yours  very  truly,  A.  WEGNER. 


MUCH  PLEASED. 

Geneseo,  Ill. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

Dear  Sir: — I  received  my  windmill  all  right  and  am  much  pleased  with  it.  I 
think  I  saved  money  by  placing  the  order  in  your  hands. 

Respectfully  yours,  CHARLES  WALZER. 


SUPERIOR  TO  ANY  WINDMILL  IN  THE  COUNTY. 

Hartford  City,  Ind. 

Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.,  Chicago,  Ill. 

DearSirs:— I  have  just  finished  erecting  two  8-foot  pumping  windmills  on  40-foot 
towers  and  find  them  far  superior  to  anything  in  Blackford  County,  at  anything 
near  the  price.  Of  all  the  windmills  I  have  erected  which  is  six  different  makes 
these  are  the  simplest  and  easiest  put  together.  1  recommend  them  to  all  farmers 
who  do  not  want  to  be  robbed  by  the  trusts  and  agents  of  windmill  manufacturers. 

Yours  respectfully,  H.  L.  WILLIAMS.
